Luxury San Sebastian

San Sebastian

Starting from between £930 to £1,480 per person for 3 days depending on the time of year, type of accomodation and activities

Itinerary Highlights

  • Seek out the best bar snacks in the city on a pintxos (Basque tapas) tour
  • Learn the secrets of traditional Basque cuisine in a cookery class with members of one of the city's famously secretive culinary societies
  • The city has a perfect beach break so enjoy some surfing
There’s a reason San Sebastian was named the food capital of Europe, after all the city boasts a whopping 17 Michelin stars. This three-day itinerary, however, bypasses the stiff white tableclothes in favour of the food the locals love to eat on a daily basis.

Get stuck straight into San Sebastian’s food scene with a leisurely lunch at a restaurant recommended by our local in-country Concierge, whose expert knowledge will guide you through the top culinary spots in the city. Once you’ve satiated your cravings, wander through the verdant hillsides surrounding the city and explore the nearby honey-hued beaches. Along with its reputation as Spain’s ‘culinary capital’, San Sebastian also attracts avid surfers and you’ll have the chance to enjoy a private surf lesson on Zurriola Beach. This adrenaline-inducing activity is bound to stimulate your appetite, so follow it up with authentic poteo-ir-de-pintxos (tapas), accompanied by red wine from nearby Rioja. Having sampled plenty of the city’s best dishes, it’s then time to make your own during a private cookery class which will help you master the art of Basque cooking before heading home to test out your newfound culinary skills.

Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Your flight to Spain will leave London in the very early morning and will land in Bilbao - the most convenient airport for San Sebastian - mid morning. After you have cleared customs and collected your luggage, you will pick up your hire car and make the one-and-a-half-hour drive along the coast to San Sebastian, arriving - conveniently enough - in time for lunch. After checking into your hotel and dropping your bags in your room, we recommend that you take a wander into town to hunt out the best spot for a long and leisurely lunch - consult your handy Dossier for our favourite spots - before spending the afternoon wandering around the golden beaches and lush hillsides.
