We want to use our tourism blog to give a voice to everyone who has experienced Donostia, so that you can all share experiences from a personal perspective, showing us authentic, undiscovered and alternative places. Above all, we want you to immerse yourself in the city and enjoy San Sebastian to the maximum!
There’s no better way to explore our beautiful city than with the palate; savoring and tasting something new around every corner along with everything that the city’s streets and neighborhoods have to offer.
The sea will be awash with sails, traditional boats and culture, from Thursday 9 May to Sunday 12.
San Sebastian is filling with humour and colour! Carnivals are coming! From 27 February to 4 March 2025. Take a look at the programme!
Although carnivals are held across the world, the ones that are held in many of the Basque Country’s villages are very special. You can still find carnivals that are deeply rooted in Basque traditions and Mother Earth.
Here are a few ideas to make your visit to San Sebastián a perfect one.
On Friday 29 November at 18:30, San Sebastian will light up for Christmas.
Every year thousands of runners from around the world come to Donostia to take part in these race and to enjoy a couple of days in our beautiful city! Here are a few ideas to make your visit to San Sebastián a perfect one.
The Antiguo district has it all: Ondarreta beach, the Wind Comb sculpture, Palacio Miramar ... and some of the tastiest pintxos in the entire city!
We follow the River Urumea and arrive in Amara, the city's sports district. This is famous because it's home to the Real Sociedad Stadium, and so if you're keen on football, it's a good option for you. There's a fantastic atmosphere there before and after the game.
The Gros district is youthful and modern, with its aura of surfing, concerts and terraces. When we go to have a few pintxos around Gros, it's not uncommon to meet barefoot surfers making their way to Zurriola beach.
Donostia's old town is a genuine treasure trove for those yearning for history, architecture and, of course, our pintxos. There are as many styles of pintxos as there are bars.
Donostia city centre is full of little shops. Broad avenues taking us back to the Belle Époque, a delightful stroll to windowshop and, of course, have a few pintxos.
From 25 October to 1 November at the Teatro Principal, come and celebrate this 35th edition of Horror and Fantasy Film Week!
