Came here while visiting Donostia and we managed to get free entry! It's a really great museum and…read moreit's manageable for spending as little as an hour, unless you want to go through all of the exhibits in substantial detail, which could take quite a bit more time. There's a lot of old Basque history including seafaring history, whaling stuff, and then more modern stuff, too, ranging from Basque artists to, I don't know, secret Basque space lasers. The architectural integration of the old cathedral and cloister is also well done-- leaving the sanctuary, you walk out into this gorgeous, peaceful grassy area and aren't even thinking about the fact that the upstairs is more of a proper museum setting. Definitely worth a visit

It's a great way to learn about Basque history and culture and it includes a church and cloister as part of the building's structure. Bonus: they have a a cafe with tasty pintxos and tapas for the appetite you will work up walking through the museum.

One of the big reasons for me to travel through Spain was some of the architecture. Now Calatrava…read moreand Gaudi aside, there were a number of things I saw that I knew nothing about. The Kursaal by Rafael Moneo was one of those. Sitting at the center of the city's "La Concha" where the river ends at the ocean near Gros. Auditoriums, conventions, dining, music, film festivals all make their way through this intriguing space. Built of two prism cubes, it stands out somewhat futuristically against all of the old Basque surroundings.

We were looking for tasty local and regional specialties to bring home, and our finds there did not disappoint. Sylvain was friendly, well-informed about everything on the shelves, and so helpful. He hand-carved some Ibérico from Córdoba for us to sample. Will stop in again the next time we visit the area.

Had to walk around the perimeter a bunch of times to get in, so that kind of blew. However, once we entered, it was nice.

While i did not find it that interesting I don't consider my visit a waste of time.

Most detail scenes around San Sebastian in abstract and modern ways; they look like block prints and some have aquatint also in combination of textures. Really great scenes.

Antiguamente las bodegas de producción no disponían de medios para poder conservar la Sagardoa durante todo el año en la kupela(barrica), por lo que el cliente entre finales de invierno y principios de primavera(periodo actual de TXOTX), debía hacer acopio de la Sagardoa embotellada para todo el año. Ante las diferencias de calidad que presentaban entre unas kupelas y otras, el comprador cataba el contenido de cada una buscando los mejores caldos, hasta cerrar el trato de compra de Sagardoa embotellada. La Sagardoa(Sidra Natural Vasca) es producto del año, de modo que la sagardoa que tomamos cada año de finales de Enero en adelante es una nueva bebida que acaba de nacer, con las características que le haya aportado el año climático a la manzana de la que proviene. Esto le da a nuestra bebida un encanto especial. Los meses de Febrero, Marzo y Abril, excepto sábados y festivos, Zapiain abre las puertas de su bodega a amigos, clientes y visitantes en general, de 8 de la tarde en adelante, para que en ambiente único puedan disfrutar bebiendo la nueva Sagardoa directamente servida de las kupelas por el propio bodeguero. Se cena de pie en la misma bodega, con los platos tradicionales que acompañan a la Sagardoa: tortilla de bacalao, bacalao frito, chuleta, queso y nueces. Se puede adquirir Sagardoa embotellada todo el año.
