• Monte Igueldo - Legend has it that God created a model of paradise, and once completed, he retained the model, leading to the birth of San Sebastián. To truly appreciate the natural splendor of San Sebastián, begin at the summit of Mount Igueldo, where breathtaking views of the city await. Here, delve into the history of the Basque Country, the Bay of Biscay, and San Sebastián’s significant role. Is it possible to amass wealth through wool trading? Were boats of exceptional quality and prestige, akin to Ferraris and Porsches, crafted in sixteenth-century Euskadi? Indeed, both are true.
• Peine del Viento - The most delightful way to descend Igueldo is via its wooden funicular, which has been in operation for over a century. Disembark near the city’s most photographed sculpture: the Peine del Viento by Eduardo Chillida, crafted from corten steel, giving it its characteristic rust hue. It stands to embrace the winds and frequent waves of this location.
• Zurriola Beach - Next, journey to the other ‘Finis Terrae’ of the city, Sagüés and La Zurriola, the heart of San Sebastián’s surfing culture. But first, explore the city’s main attractions: its elegant side, romantic corners, the palace constructed for royal summer retreats in the late 19th century (Miramar Palace), the French-influenced, modernist, and rationalist architecture (with occasional nods to the Bauhaus), and more contemporary structures like the Kursaal, two buildings resembling stranded rocks by the sea.
• Parte Vieja - The Old Town is the culinary heart of San Sebastián (yes, this is where you’ll find the pintxo bars, the gastronomic societies [think private dining clubs], seasoned locals enjoying the timeless ‘txikiteo’ [a lively bar-hopping experience] – ordering ‘zuritos’ or ‘cañas’. Here lies the indulgent, decadent San Sebastián you’ve heard about), and the location of the city’s oldest structures. You’ll leave with a Master’s Degree in navigating “miniature cuisine” (how do you order a pintxo? When do you pay?), and High Honors in Basque bars.

Now, let’s discuss serious matters. Everything shared about pintxos would be incomplete without visiting the most iconic bars to sample their renowned pintxos, accompanied by cider, wine, or beer. The culinary journey concludes with a delightful dessert that locals adore while strolling: a creamy, sweet, and exquisite artisanal ice cream. Rest assured, you’ll retire for the night content.
