I have been taking my 5.5 yo daughter to the swimming lessons for 2 weeks. They do swimming lessons…read more(group and individual), beach camp for kids and surfing lessons. My review is for the swimming lessons. The good: If you miss a day (or more) the staff is always helpful to reschedule an other time or an other day on weekends. In 2011, the swimming teacher is/was Pierre. He has a great contact with kids. We liked his way of teaching swimming and my daughter is now completely autonomous in a pool. She can even do back stroke. Next year we are taking our youngest daughter (she is too young this year). In 2011, the staff is Nicolas (pool and beach camp) and Aurore (surfing). They are both very friendly and helpful. Swimming lessons start at 4 yo. Surfing lessons start at 6 yo. If you take a 10-day program you will get a discount. Start with 5-day program and if you like it the staff will apply the discount on the 2nd week. The not so good: The pool water is a bit cold. But they provide kids wetsuits (shorty). Summer 2011 was a bit rainy and cold, so I would guess pool water temp is usually warmer. The bad: None I can think of.

This is a beautiful park in San Sebastián over La Concha beach. The name means 'beautiful place' in…read morethe Euskara (basque) language. There's a a pretty carousel. It's right in front of the Government buildings. Peaceful, and there are benches so you can have a picnic

Best sunset views!!!…read more Oh so many evenings/ afternoons and sunsets walked happened here during my recent trip to San Sebastian!! This place is magical!!! it's the trees! The beach! The gorgeous ocean! It is beautiful! You can walk down to the beach during the day ( low tide, spring) and just walk! Nap! Or sit by one of the trees and people watch. it's always so busy! So lively! Live music! Skaters! Old couples! kids! So cute! And it's a huge park right in the middle of the city!! Museum is right there! Tapas bar down the block! Everything is great! Also helped that I stayed right across the cross street from here. In and out of the hotel and viola! Awaits this beautiful massive park! A must if you are visiting!!

The Public pool in Biarritz is a salt-water pool with 2 basins (the one for swimmers is 25 Meters…read morelong) and 1 whirlpool. There are also some lounge-chairs from which you have a great view of the beach. Sauna and a Hamman are also available but I didn't use those. The entrance fee is dead cheap (2,50€ for a single adult, 10 entrances cost 18€) but the entrance system is needlessly time consuming. After paying they give you a plastic card with your entry code that you then feed to the entry turnstile literally half a meter next to the lady behind the counter, the card is then gone and has no more use - even if you buy ten entrances you still go through this procedure every time you arrive. You show your paper that says 10 entries to get and electronic card and It takes quite long to charge these cards for each customer. It would be a lot faster to just "buzz" people through the turnstile than do what they do with these cards. Lockers use 50cent pieces. Changing rooms and showers are separated for men and women - but there are only few individual changing cabins (at least on the men side) and those who are there are quite small. The Changing area and the showers are dimly lit, quite old and not welcoming. The basins are in good shape and the pool hall is a nice place to be. The (salt)water was a tad too warm for my taste though. Overall a nice small pool (that could do with some modernizations) that you can go to when the weather doesn't permit to swim in the ocean.

Super easy, well priced, had a blast on our intermediate ride with Inigo. The shop is located right…read moreby the beach which was convenient. We rented Giant road bikes which were very nice - carbon everything and disc brakes made the ride awesome. We went for about 55km with a ton of elevation, the ride was tough but so rewarding, and the views we had throughout were incredible (we rode to the French border and back). Inigo was a great guide, adjusted to our pace and helped push us through. On the ride back we stopped into a local spot for some pintxos and a beer. Thoroughly enjoyed this and would highly recommend the experience, we'll definitely do another ride on our next trip to San Sebastian!

This was a convenient location in old town San Sebastián. The staff was super friendly and spoke…read moregood English. The bikes were all high quality brands and in great condition. They had road, mountain, city, hybrid and eBikes for rent. My Specialized hybrid was idea for San Sebastián - rolled fast, Mt. Bike gearing for the hills and study for the curbs and cobblestone. San Sebastián is ideal for touring by bike. There are bike lanes everywhere, cars and pedestrians usually yield to bikes.

We had the best time with Alain. Throughout our stay, we have had locals/guides say that the people…read moreof San Sebastián go by the philosophy of "live life and have fun". Today the day started with hail and we ALMOST didn't go on the tour, and I'm so glad we decided to just say "go for it"...because we had the best day. The tour was small, the rain cleared up quickly, and we got some beautiful sun. Alain gave us some history, gave some recommendations for food spots, and even took us to a place we could play their version of hand ball (Esku Pilota or Basque Pilota). The tour felt personalized and we learned some basque phrases. One person got a flat tire and Alain was able to show off his expert skills at fixing the bike quickly...he kept each member of the tour safe! All the staff in the office were super friendly, responsive, and kept my bag safe when I forgot it . Highly recommend!

A MUST-DO when you arrive in San Sebastián. "Classic E-Bike Tour" covers iconic places of the city…read moreas well as some of the "local" hotspots away from the tourist traps. The city is very bike-friendly and the electric bikes used on this tour makes it so easy to maneuver throughout town. Each tour group is only 6 people and led by a friendly English-Spanish speaking guide. We had "Pylagio"(?) who was well versed on the history of the town and gave good recommendations for things to do for the rest of our stay in San Sebastián. We had taken the "Classic E-Bike Tour" on our 2nd day in San Sebastián and wished we had taken it on the day we arrived like the other people in our group. After this tour you'll have a better idea of which areas and sites you want to go back to and explore further. We plan on doing this tour again when we return with our teenage kids. Tips: - Before the tour, eat enough to hold you over for 3 hours of activity. Food stops are not part of the tour. Only water breaks. - Bring a cold sports drink (like Gatorade). Bottled water is provided but on a warm day, electrolytes helped get through the last half of the tour. - It's sunny, wear sunglasses and a hat. Use sunblock, sunscreen, or suntanning lotion. - Avoid bringing any bulky items. A small lightweight backpack is the most you should bring. - A GoPro is nice to have. You'll be riding through beautiful parts of town and see amazing views from the top of the peaks. We highly recommend this tour over the bus tours. On a bus they give you recordings to listen to while you ride around city streets. This bike tour is more fun and personalized.
