Experience the most complete day trip from San Sebastian with a journey along Gipuzkoa’s western coast that strings together viewpoints, seafaring towns, and cinematic landscapes.
Start with the view of Talai Mendi before descending to Zarautz, majestic and surf-friendly, to experience its seafront and the beat of the Atlantic. Follow the scenic road to Getaria, cradle of designer Cristobal Balenciaga, where the harbour, Calle Mayor, and smoky grills tell the story of the arrantzales and their whaling legacy in an authentic tour in Getaria flavoured with sea and txakoli.
The journey culminates in Zumaia, facing Itzurun Beach and the Zumaia flysch cliffs, an open-air geological site. The Hermitage of San Telmo, a setting from “Ocho apellidos vascos”, provides the cinematic finale to an itinerary that blends culture, landscape, and gastronomy.
With a bilingual local guide (Spanish and English) and private transport, this Basque coast tour is designed for those who want to discover the essence of the Gipuzkoan shoreline without rushing.
