San Sebastián Tour
San Sebastian is located in the Basque Autonomous Community in Spain. This northern city lies on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and is the capital of the province of Gipuzkoa. Local people tend to call themselves donostiarra (in Spanish and Basque). Thanks to the astonishing places to see, the region is well known for its tourism services. It is a real Spanish dimond which is worth discovering. Not only because of the beautiful beaches, best view and sunny weather, but also for an original Basque culture.
Basque country
The most recognizable cities of the region, Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Pamplona, and San Sebastian, are well known for earlier mentioned Basque culture. The area is marked by their own original language called Basque. It is spoken by nearly 750,000 active and 434,000 passive speakers. It covers approximately 20,947 km2 and includes 7 provinces: Nafarroa Garaia, Araba, Gipuzkoa, Bizkaia, Lapurdi, Nafarroa Beherea, and Zuberoa. San Sebastián is located in Gipuzkoa and is its largest city.
Tours in San Sebastian - what to see and eat
Now you are probably wondering where you should start your trip and which places are particularly worth visiting in San Sebastian.
As you want to experience the best of San Sebastián and its basque culture, you definitely need to try its local food such as traditional tuna soup - marmitako , lamb stew, Tolosa bean dishes, Idiazabal cheese, sparkling white-wine txakoli, and Basque cider. The best way to enjoy local cuisine is to go to a good traditional restaurant and feel the real spirit of Spanish culture.
Basque architecture is another recognizable feature of the Basque country. We distinguish houses called baserri, but they are also known by the name caserío Vasco. These are a traditional half-timbered or stone-built type of housebarn farmhouses, typical in Northern Spain and Southwestern France. In San Sebastian you can visit buildings designed in a typical Basque architecture: Caserío Peluaga, Caserío Igartubeiti or Caserío Larrañaga.
Of course, you need to visit those remarkable beaches and enjoy the Spanish Sun! Travel to the most desirable place in San Sebastian - Bahía de la Concha (Bay of Concha). The beach offers gorgeous white sand, a stunning view and a lot of space to enjoy your summer. The best place in the whole city to try your cocktail and relax - Playa de la Concha!

Hendaye is a commune in France located around 30 minutes from San Sebastián.
