Mandatory visit to the Kursaal breakwater
The best known area to see waves is the Paseo Nuevo, at the height of the Oteiza sculpture, but there is another wonderful place to see the spectacle of the breaking waves, and it is the Kursaal breakwater at Zurriola Beach. Although yes, be careful on stormy days when the waves are too powerful because getting too close can be dangerous. Take the opportunity to enjoy the Gros neighborhood, see the famous Kursaal Bridge and the San Sebastián Conference Center and Auditorium, which is especially beautiful when lit up at night.

A spa day in La Concha Bay

A plan with children: the Donostia Aquarium
If you go as a family, we propose a plan that the little ones will enjoy in a big way, as much as if they went to the Cabarceno Nature Park. The Donostia Aquarium already has more than 100 years of history, it is dedicated to the Cantabrian Sea (of which we declare ourselves absolute fans of their beaches), and went one of the first oceanographic museums in Europe.

Day of pintxos in San Sebastián
If we were sightseeing in Madrid we would recommend you the best patisseries in the capital, because the rain with a candy is much better. And you won’t know a city completely if you don’t know its gastronomy, and going to San Sebastian and not trying its pinchos is like going to Malaga and not eating its fried fish.
In the old part of the city you have several donostiarras tapas routes in which to try the most typical pinchos such as the gilda. Prepare your stomach, we are going to remind you what the best places to go for pintxos in San Sebastián.
