  • I would happily escape to San Sebastian to taste these delicacies. I like the richness of Basque gastronomy, its raw materials, the produce of the land... I usually buy typical products from the Basque Country online, in stores like Dastatu, with delicious gourmet products... I totally agree that the city is beautiful, so put together The beauty and gastronomy, in addition to the atmosphere, is a perfect destination!

  • I always had the concept that it was a very expensive place for a tourist destination, but I can assure you that one can stay and eat very well, (apart from enjoying everything that San Sebastian offers), for a more than affordable price, I am sure. I will return because apart from the fact that I really liked it, I still have the urge to surf on those beaches, greetings and totally recommended…
