Tour description

Do you want to know interesting facts, anecdotes, the history and urban development of this city, beyond its already famous gastronomy and landscapes?

I suggest a two-and-a-half-hour walk through its port and old town and its 19th-century extensions, now the city centre, with its public spaces and most emblematic buildings from that Belle Epoque, when San Sebastián became the summer court of the Spanish monarchy.

I will tell you some interesting facts and stories about this city, from its origins at the foot of Mount Urgull, to the beginning of the 20th century, when the heart and centre of the city, as well as its character, personality, history and traditions were already firmly established.

And yes, at the end, I will also provide you with a list of some bars and pintxos in the Old Town that I like, to end on a good note.
