    There are a lot of little villages near San Sebastian, not turistic, but really beautiful, that you can visit in a few time. One good exemple is "Hondarribia", close to the french border. The houses and the streets are really charmer. There's also exhibitions of paintings, and several culture acts. It's a village with culture life. If you go, you won't be disapointed.
    Hi ha molts poblets a la vora de Sant Sebastiŕ, que no són turístics, perň que són realment bonics, que es poden visitr des e la ciutat en molt poc temps. Un bon exemple és Honadarribia, al costat de la frontera francesa. Les cases i els carrers són realment encantadors. Hi han exposicions de pintura, i diferents actes culturals. És un poble amb força vida cultural. Si hi aneu, no us decepcionareu.

    Zurriola is another beautiful beach, situated "behind" the old city, between river Urumea and Mount Ulía; famous Palace of Congress Kursaal is situated by this beach.
    For those who say that I never appear in my pictures, here I am!!!

    ... when watching the ocean, the colour of water is splendid... Still, if you want to discover it, you have to climb the mount... on foot !!!

    Real Sociedad Stadium
    by lolitajane
    We came across the Velodrome as it was the venue for our second Pearl Jam show. It's about twenty minutes drive from the city centre, next to the "Real Sociedad" Stadium.
    We've been to better venues regarding facilities & comfort, but as the show was excellent we just forgot about it!

    Ea is a little village not far from Donosti, going to the west, for the coast. The beach is big, and there is a few people in it. Close to the beach, there's very beautiful landscapes.

    A quaint little town

    • Right near the French border is the little town of Hondarribia (Fuentarribia). This is just a beautiful little town, with a nice beach, a wonderfully charming old town, and a nice port. Spend half a day here at least.

    Just take the 'I' bus from the Plaza de Gipuzkoa. It's about 1.50 euros.

    • Sitting on the walkway of the beach is La Perla, a health spa. They describe themselves as a "sea of health."

    Near to the Castillo de la Mota and tucked away among the trees is an overgrown monument to British soldiers who died here in a battle in 1813.

    TXU-TXU TRAIN

    A perfect activity to see the city if you travel with kids and an easy way to do it if you are tired to walk too. 250 ptas. Take the train in the park in front of the Town Hall.
