I had no interest in buying any sporting goods, but I happened to be passing by and the place…read morelooked super busy, so on a whim I decided to pop in and see what it was about. No firearms, obviously. But otherwise, it was very similar to Academy Sports and Dick's Sporting Goods. Organized by department based on the sport. Tennis, golf, raquetball, running shoes, exercise wear, etc. Everything had pretty clear looking prices and while the store was super busy on a Saturday night, it was well stocked and pretty tidy.

These stores are all over Spain. Some are tiny shops with a little bit of everything (eg the Puerto…read moredel Sol store in Madrid), others are huge multi-floor got-it-all REI-style megastores with long aisles of shoes, clothing, outdoor gear and sports equipment for any sport you choose (eg Bilbao). Prices are excellent. I needed an extra fold-up duffel to haul clothing displaced by souvenir purchases. They had multiple sizes and colors - good quality at surprisingly low prices - 5 to 10 euros. Docked one star for unimaginative displays.

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.
