Hello San Sebastian: Hidden Gems & Belle Époque Walking Tour

Step off the beaten path to explore San Sebastián’s Belle Époque elegance, surf culture, and hidden corners, with stories locals rarely share.
Discover San Sebastián beyond the pintxos bars. This walking tour takes you into the city’s Belle Époque past and its vibrant present, revealing corners that most visitors never reach.

Your walk begins along the grand seafront promenade, once Europe’s summer playground for queens and aristocrats. See the ornate façades of the Teatro Victoria Eugenia and the glamorous Hotel María Cristina, and hear how San Sebastián reinvented itself as the “Pearl of the Cantabrian” in the 19th century.

From here, cross into the lively Gros district, the beating heart of the city’s surf scene. Watch the waves at Zurriola Beach, learn how youth culture has shaped the neighborhood, and spot contemporary street art that contrasts with the city’s elegant old quarter.

Continue into Egia, a creative hub where repurposed factories and cultural centers showcase a different face of Donostia. Along the way, enjoy a taste of a local specialty — perhaps a Basque pastry or a refreshing sip of cider — at a spot loved by residents.

This isn’t another “pintxo crawl” or Old Town highlights tour. Instead, it’s a journey into the city’s layers: aristocratic, bohemian, and everyday local life. By the end, you’ll have discovered stories and places that connect you to San Sebastián in a truly authentic way.
