Free Walking Tour of San Sebastian

The walk covers the historic centre of Donostia. It begins with Plaza Gipuzkoa, seat of the provincial government, and the Alameda del Boulevard, the shopping avenue that links the old and new parts of the city. In Plaza de la Constitución the guide explains the Tamborrada, the drum festival held here every year, and the route passes the church of San Vicente, the oldest monument in San Sebastian.

Next come the streets lined with pintxo bars, with an explanation of how this way of eating shaped local life. The last stretch follows Calle Mayor to the Baroque basilica of Santa María del Coro and finishes at the port after two to two and a half hours. The order of the stops can change, and food is not included.
