Tour description


Are you ready to enter the Pearl of the Cantabrian Sea?


 

We'll be waiting for you next to the statue of Don Quixote and Sancho in Plaza Cervantes to start our walking tour through the historic centre of the beautiful city of San Sebastian, famous for its Concha beach, its pintxos and many more surprises. Ready? Let's go!


We'll take the Paseo de la Concha to admire one of the most beautiful urban beaches in the world, worthy of a postcard with its characteristic railing as a backdrop.


Our first stop will be the Alderdi Eder gardens (‘beautiful place’ in Basque) to discover the City Hall building, originally built to house the city's Grand Casino. Just looking at it is like travelling back in time to the Belle Epoque.


But our level of surprise will continue when we reach Plaza Guipúzcoa, one of the most emblematic corners that houses the headquarters of the Provincial Council. We will visit the Alameda del Boulevard, the nerve centre of the shopping area, which serves as a connection between the old and new parts of Donostia.


Have you ever wondered what is the most important festival in Donosti? We will go into the Plaza de la Constitución to talk about the tamborrada while we fall in love with the colourful balconies that surround it. Our guided tour takes us to wonderful buildings such as the Church of San Vicente, did you know that it is the oldest monument in San Sebastian?

In addition, we will walk through the streets where the pintxo bars are the protagonists. Did you know that Donosti is the cradle of this culinary art? In fact, it has been voted the best gastronomic destination in the world, and your mouth will be watering!

We will stroll through the cobbled streets of ‘lo Viejo’ (as the locals call the historic centre) until we discover the baroque basilica of Santa María del Coro.

There's nothing like strolling through the streets of this beautiful city in the company of an authentic Donostian, is there?

To finish our free tour, we will walk to the Port of Donosti where we will end with a panoramic view of the Bay of Biscay in its purest form.


⚠️IMPORTANTE ⚠️

- Groups are limited to a maximum of 25 people per guide by local ordinance.
