As we…read moreexpected, all of the rides were closed, but to our surprise they still had some food and drink options open! We enjoyed walking around the mountaintop and taking in all the spectacular views of San Sebastian and the coast. We also enjoyed getting some spritzes at the bar and sipping on them with the ultimate view. Without the rides it's not a place you'll spend too much time, but still worth the visit for the views and a ride on the historic funicular. Would love to come back and go on some rides in the future.

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!

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!!

Once we made it to the aquarium portion, we just tried to avoid everyone so we could observe and take photos. Overall, I would recommend the aquarium to everyone just be prepared to take your time if you get anxious around a lot of people (like me).

This is a well-done aquarium and a bit off the beaten track for visitors to San Sebastián (Donosti,…read morein Basque). Suggestion: start at far end of La Concha beach and curl around to the other end, where the aquarium sits (see map). You'll have to pass near some great tapas or pintxos bars, which is not a bad thing, ever. Some of the fish seem friendly, others downright scary, judging from squeals of children (only drawback, in this enclosed space). A great place to go on a hot day. I highly recommend it, for both the walk and the viewing of the exhibits. My favorites are the medusas (jellyfish) and the baby tiburones (sharks), which one can watch being born (see photo). I walked back to several areas to view again.

And especially after Game Of Thrones the popularity for sure really took off. There is no parking here, your best bet is to park by the "Txomin Agirre Kalea" street by the river. Plenty of metered parking. And it's only an easy 10' stroll to this beach. The beach itself is a dark-sand beach. But it's not the beach that makes most people come here. It's the amazing rock formations and cliffs. Some rocks stand out like razors and the cliffs do look like they've been carved. But it's all mother nature and that makes it even more amazing. This is where some famous scenes from Dragonstone (GoT) were filmed. And it's interesting how easy it is to access for the public. And free....and no restrictions (except no pets). On the left side of the beach there are several caves. It's a bit wet on the way, but you can get there with sneakers even. On the right side are the razor-shaped formations and also the impressive cliffs. Be careful where to access, because it's swampy and you might bury your feet in it (like me). On the very right are some small stairs, the best way to access this area. It's really a great place to stroll along the beach. Great views. And less visitors than you might think. Especially if you walk along the beach on the right, then there are less and less people....the further you go. Impressive place. One of the best we've visited on this Road Trip.

Let them know in advance if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. They have a recorded boat tour in several languages, which was professionally done by an historian.

They were so kind and let my 10 year old son stand in the captain's chair. He had the best time. After a month of being in Europe, two days that were his favorite. This was one of them. There is only room for a max of 12 people, so consider this a semi private yacht experience. Very clean, very well done. Great value for money.

And it's a really nice place to just chill and watch surfers surf! There are designated areas when people can go in the water and play. The lifeguards try and ensure that people aren't getting too close to the high waves and surfers. In terms of the surf, the waves are pretty decent. You'll usually come across knee high to waist high waves (at least that's what is was when I was there). This is a great place for beginner/intermediate surfers to improve their skill level! Beware though, the waves come in very quickly, one after the other. This made me a little exhausted because every time I surfed a wave, it would take me a while to get back to the "safe spot" or the break (I am not the strongest swimmer or most skilled surfer). You'll see many of the more skilled surfers drop out of a wave to avoid coming to close to the shore, if this makes sense. For the 1st timers, if you stay near the left side of the beach, the waves are ankle to knee high! Great place to learn, you'll see all the surf schools out here too!
