San Seb Take 2

Nelly and I hopped on the bus for a girly few days down the coast in San Seb. Talk about chasing the sun. After a slightly rocky start thinking our apartment was above the train station (we’d mixed up the address of the Air BnB and left luggage!!) we made it to our lovely Art Deco pad, which, much to Nell’s relief, was moments from the surf beach, not on top of the railway track!

Endless explores, beach runs, cruisey surfs and soooo many amazing pintxos and Riojas.

Our fav Pintxos spots:
- Goiz-Argi: known for its Brocheta de Gambas
- Borda Berri: known for its risotto & pork ribs
- Bodega Donostiarra Gros: the tuna tomato salad and calamari are both to die for
- La Mejillonera when it’s busy for absolute chaos, cheap beers and seafood

Other highlights:
- Coffee along Playa de la Concha
- Walk around the headland and up to
- Loaf bakery for coffee and sweet treats
- Big walk up to Motako gaztelua for epic view
- Surf at Zurriolako Hondartza
- Igeldo mendiko behatokia (little train runs in summer)
- Haizearen orrazia sculptures by the sea
- Bataplan disco is the big cloooob along La Concha but didn’t go!

Warning: The pintxos crawl becomes dangerous when you match each one with a delish local Rioja for only €2! 🍷🤤Read more
