San Sebastian, Spain

San Sebastian is a super cute little beach town in northeast Spain

San Sebastian Tips: 

  • There are two different train stations for this small city so that can be relatively confusing. Make sure you are going to the correct one for your train!

  • It gets PACKED on La Concha during peak beach going weekends, so try to hit it up during the week or in the off-season

Adventures & Ales Top San Sebastian Recommendations: 

  • La Concha: The ever-so-popular crescent shaped beach is the hub of energy. Hit the beach, lounge in the park, grab a drink at one of the neighboring bars, or even take it in from the carousel 

  • Sakona Coffee Roasters: Fantastic coffee and breakfast spot

  • Monte Igueldo: Hike or take the funicular up the left mountain overlooking the bay, city, and surrounding mountains

The Classic Tourist Spots Actually Worth Visiting: 

  • Constitution Square: Check out the old bullfight seat numbers above the restaurants!

  • San Telmo Museum: A museum of the Basque Country

Other Things to Do in San Sebastian: ​

  • The East side neighborhood is full of delicious restaurants! My favorite one closed down, but there are a plethora to choose from!

  • Playa Zurriola: Check out the surfers on the less popular beach catching the wicked waves that come in

  • Miramar Palace: Bavarian style building and park. A quick stop on your way to Monte Igueldo
