SAN SEBASTIAN, BASQUE COUNTRY
BASK IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY
Sophisticated yet accessible, effortlessly stylish, down-to-earth and old fashioned: this is Basque Country’s stunning gem on the foothills of the Pyrenees, San Sebastian. A Michelin star studded culinary bastion poised on a beautiful crescent-shaped bay, San Sebastian captivates and seduces travelers with its unrivaled cuisine and unparalleled beauty.
San Sebastian is often overlooked in favor of Spain’s larger cities, but it has a fascinating and distinctive culture you won’t find anywhere but Basque Country. With the perfect surf, heaps of outdoor activities available, and something gorgeous around every turn, you’ll never be able to get over San Seb.
Take a stroll along the picturesque La Concha Promenade and soak in the landscape, explore the labyrinthe of charming streets in Old Town, take a funicular up the hillside to get a panoramic view of the whole bay. Spend your afternoon tasting incredible pintxos (Basque finger food) and sipping bubbly cider with your friends.

Friday
playa and sidra!
On Friday, you’ll have the morning and afternoon to settle in, tour around, lounge on the beach, or grab some tasty bites. We’ll all get together for a big welcome party at a traditional sideria, where the sidra (locally crafted cider) and the conversation will flow. If you’re feeling bold after a few glasses of sidra, join us for a ceremony where you crack a walnut with your forehead!
Saturday
CHASING WAVES
After a filling breakfast, we’ll hit the beach to catch the perfect waves San Sebastian is known for and surf all morning long. You’re also free to explore if that’s your vibe. In the afternoon we’ll get a taste of that infamous local cuisine with a delicious pintxos walking tour with lots of stops along the way. With a little more sidra, we’ll see where the night takes us and join the party.
Sunday
ADIOS, WE WILL BE BASK
If you’re heading out on Sunday morning, make sure to take in the view one last time before you go. If you’re sticking with us, we’ve got a guided hike planned with views of the Basque Country’s magnificent landscape that’s straight out of Game of Thrones! Top off your day with one last round of pintxos and get psyched for next weekend’s Sail Croatia tour!
