San Sebastián
Pintxos and a city beach. The best eating per square mile in Europe.
Travellers come here for food, beaches, slowing down and nightlife.
When to go
Aim for June, July and August. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.

Getting there
Airports serving San Sebastián: EAS and BIO. San Sebastián is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
