Nowhere on earth tastes quite like San Sebastian, and the old town has more bars and restaurants per square metre than anywhere else, writes Tom Bird.

A Casa Rurale "Kanpoeder"

Posted by Whalley 11 May 2008

A small, very professionally run guest house/B&B. All rooms have their own shower room and the house is just minutes away from the centre of San Sebastian.

There are lovely views over the countryside, and the welcoming and helpful, English speaking owner serves breakfast in a spacious room on the lower
ground floor. We paid 45 euros 80 for the room and 5 euros 60 for breakfast for two.

Parking at the university

Posted by kijog 25 February 2008

If you have a hire car and are coming to San Sebastian for more than a day, park your car for free at one of the car parks off Avenida de tolosa next to the University (to the west of the city centre) and get the 5 or 25 Donostia Bus service into town (€1.20 /single). Otherwise 24hr underground garages in the centre cost about €13/day and there is no long term street parking anywhere near the city centre.

Museo Chillida Leku

Posted by ldn2mcr 4 November 2007

Eduardo Chillida is a much-loved Basque son and his sculpture can be enjoyed at many locations in the region, including the breathtaking Wind Comb work, which looks out to sea on the edge of La Concha. But it is also well worth a trip to the Chillida-Lexu sculpture park, which is a short drive outside the city.

Chillida and his wife bought the estate the park lies on in the eighties, restoring the 16th century farmhouse on the grounds and eventually turning the gardens into an outdoor museum.

Today, posthumously, it remains a site for fans to come and observe the artist's vision. The stark realist sculptures set on the green Basque landscape is quite a sight to behold.

Restaurante Kursaal

Posted by ldn2mcr 4 November 2007

We dined in the ground floor restaurant and had the great value tasting menu of five enormous courses. Located in an iconic, modern building on the banks of the river close to where it meets the sea.
