A 12th century medieval bridge just outside the town of Frías and crossing the Ebro river. The bridge has a defensive tower that dates from the 14th century. So impressive!
JR Suarez — Google review
Road-trip: Castilla y León, Frias - just outside of town, you’ll find this medieval bridge over the Ebro River. Extremely well maintained with nearby parking. Note: recommend driving from Frias if you have a car as would otherwise be a long and steep trip down to the river.

Fabulous medieval village and ancient bridge.
Mike — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is very nice to see it during the day because from it you can see Frías high up and it is beautiful. At night, which was when I returned (because during the day we didn't have time to stop), it is also beautiful, but it is not appreciated the same.
There is a picnic area and there is parking.

Es muy bonito verlo de día porque desde el se ve Frías en lo alto y es precioso. De noche que fue cuando volví (porque de día no tuvimos tiempo a parar) también esta bonito, pero no se aprecia igual.

This old monastery was worth every minute. As a pilgrim, I took a 45-minute break and wandered through its beautiful old rooms and walls of Gothic and Romanesque style. Entrance was only 4€ for pilgrims and the audio guide in many languages, truly informative and entertaining. A unexpected jewel on the Camino. The stamp is also really beautiful.

One of the best monasteries I have ever been to. Said by the guy who visited few hundreds of monasteries of all religions worldwide. Burrial place of the kings and noblemen of Navarre. So, absolutely must see if you are visiting Rioja region. Take time also to climb up the hill behind the monastery for great views of Najera

Bodegas Muga is a family-owned winery situated in the Station Quarter of Haro. It offers Segway tours to vineyards, tasting courses, and a wine store. The winery has an expertise in using premium quality materials and embracing innovative techniques while keeping up with its authenticity. Bodegas Muga boasts of being the only cellar in Spain having a master cooper and three in-house barrel-makers.
Muga was a great tour of the winery and coopery, and a lovely tasting to finish!
Michael Emrey — Google review
What a fantastic place to visit! We have visited quite a few vineyards in France and England but never a Bodega in Spain. We were very lucky to choose Bodegas Muga. The tour was really interesting, as Muga is the only one to make it's own barrels. Seeing how the barrels are made was an added bonus, also the selection of Oak trees and the buying process was very interesting.
Sasha, our guide was incredible. She knew so much about the wine making process, the cooperage and the wines. Good luck in your WAST exams!!
Manuela, in the shop was also very helpful. I am now looking forward to the many bottles of wine I have in Bertha, our motorhome!!!
We will definitely be back.
If you only have time for one visit then choose Muga!!!
Karen Goodall — Google review
The bar was great for tasting wine. There were only four chairs but it was okay for me coming alone. I chose a wine flight of four reds and a with or a rose. Rose was a boring Provence style wine. First red Muga is sold in Spain as Crianza and elsewhere Reserva. I haven't liked it before and I didn't like much now. Next wines very more interesting and brought me in my memories to my childhood home.
Overall Muga was a real good experience and exceeded my expectations.
Jarkko Mikkonen — Google review
Excellent tour of the winery where you can still feel the tradition and production is of top quality. Interesting to learn about wines and even see how the batrrels are made. Probably one of the last cellars where they do that. The guide Sasa was very knowladgable, atentive, entertaining....And the wines we tasted all good, especially the red ones. There is also a shop and a bar worth to stop by.

We were visiting from NYC and meeting our family for a special family reunion. We were a group of 15 (2 grandparents, 8 adults and 7 teens/young adults). Thank you Miguel for helping us organize the tour/lunch and thank you Manuela for a great tour.
The lunch at Muga was a particular highlight of the trip. It was set up in a beautiful room with a big round table(with a lazy susan in the middle) that accommodated everyone. The service was super friendly and the chef was very accommodating, (as you can imagine in a group of 15, we do have some picky eaters) Everything was delicious, but the pochas were the best we had during the trip. Needless to say that the wine pairing was exceptional and flowed freely during the 2.5h lunch.
If you have a big group this is a must (think minimum is 8-10 people).
Ricardo Toro — Google review
Had an amazing time at Bodegas Muga! The tour was absolutely fascinating, offering a deep dive into the winery's rich history and culture. What sets Muga apart is that they're the exclusive winery in Spain crafting their own barrels, which adds a cool and distinctive touch to the experience. capping it all off, the wine was truly stellar! If you find yourself in Haro, it's definitely a must-visit.
Manny Fuller — Google review
Massive winery offering tours scheduled in advance. Interesting to learn about their production and see their Cooperage as they're the only Winery in the area that makes their own barrels. Tasting is 10 euros per person and includes a sample of 2 wines one white and one red, and you keep your glass. Overall felt fairly commercial but still worth a visit.
Paula Englin — Google review
Amazing winery experience!
Espectacular wine plus the tour was thoroughly explain by Manuela who did an incredible job.

Carolina Canamaque — Google review
Our first time at Haro, wanting to taste wine but not sure where. So many wine cellars and we only had 1/2 day to spend in Haro. Wine Cellar “Muga” attracted us due to the fact that it’s the only cellar in Spain with a master cooper and three in-house barrel-makers. We got there at 1pm and the last wine tour was at 12:30. We decided to buy 1 bottle and drink it in the terraza, there at the Cellar. Jose, the wine server, went above and beyond. He explained to us the wine process, from the beginning of harvest to the end. He took the time to share with us his immense knowledge; something we will cherish for life. Thank you Jose, thank you!, thank you, thank you. From the bottom of our heart, thank you! We ended up meeting one on the owners and he was so nice and kind that he spend a few minutes of his valuable time, with us and even invited us a bottle of wine and a “tabla of chorizo” sooooo good. Overall, this was THE best wine experience we have had. We highly recommend this wonderful place to all!!

Matteo Fu — Google review
Visited Bodegas Muga with some friends from Barcelona, and had a great tour.
Our tour guide, Sasha was very good, and for an English tour, she did amazing.
During the tour, we got to see an active, working winery…
From the fermentation to aging to bottling, which they were doing as we visited.
We also got to see the wine cemetery and the barrel cooperage areas.
The end of tasting was well balanced with a white, young red and a Crianza.
We also, tried a Grand Reserva Vino Tinto afterwards in the tasting room.
Well worth the $ for the tour, plan on 2-2 1/2 hours.

Road-trip: La Rioja, Haro - this traditional and highly regarded winemaker is located in the heart of La Rioja in Haro. It offers guided tours as well as other activities (advanced reservations recommended), a wine bar, a tasting room and a restaurant. You can also pop in to buy some of its prized wines. Tip: Staying in the neighboring town of Briñas, you can walk along the Ebro river to Haro and it’s world class bodegas in less than hour. If you choose to drive, there’s a large parking lot across the street.
Nanita — Google review
We have a very pleasant experience during our visit of the winery. Our guide Sasha gave us a lot of interesting information on wine processing we have no idea before. Degustation was a nice finish of the visit with a possibility to continue in their local wine bar. Definitely worth visiting!

A superb visit to the Bodega, however my favourite part was the visit to the companies very own Cooperage, a real surprise to see such craft work being performed on the premises.
A very informative visit which was enjoyed by all. Thank you to our guide Sacha.
Brian McCann — Google review
We managed to walk in at 1pm on Sunday even though we didn’t have a reservation. Wine flight tasting was €12 for half glass portion and it could be shared amongst 2 people. We tried an extra glass of wine that was excluded from the flight and was pleasantly surprised. Walked out with 3 bottles of wine (could’ve been more but this was only our first stop), and was truly satisfied. The staff over the counter was amazing and very friendly, answered our questions happily and explained them thoroughly. I didn’t get her name but the other staff was just as fantastic. Overall a great experience and I would recommend for anyone to visit!!
R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia, S.A. is a historic bodega that has been producing wine for over 140 years. The founder, Don Rafael Lopez de Heredia y Landeta, fell in love with the Rioja region and established the winery in Haro where visitors can take tours and tastings. The winery is known for aging its wines in Bordeaux oak barrels and boasts an impressive underground cellar filled with countless barrels of wine.
I can't explain how amazing our visit was. Luis, our guide was kind, patient and very knowledgeable. Lidia, the person who helped me through email to schedule the visit was super helpful. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn about what truly quality wine is to come here
Rebeca Sanchez — Google review
A nice place to visit and try some top quality Rioja wines. Raphael Lopez de Heredia is known for its Tondonia vineyard, and most of the wine lovers use “tondonia” to redder to this winemaker. We visited the winemaking area and barrel aging places, and also tasted 2 wines. I love the wines from R. Lopez for many years, and this time I got the opportunity!
Matteo Fu — Google review
Luis was the best guide. He was so generous with his knowledge and time. It was a very nice tour and got to relax and drink some wine after. Fantastic winery and family tradition.

Amazing hospitality and experience at the bodgeas! We were in the area for wine tasting during the weekend and stopped by this place.
A truly amazing experience and a key highlight of our day. Delicious reserva wine that can easily qualify as a gran reserva!
After tasting a few bottles at the shop, the friendly staff, offered to show us their facilities behind the scenes with no reservations!
Learnt alot from the quick visit and truly a bodegas that one needs to tour and experience their traditional family heritage of making wine.
choo chin ming — Google review
We went for a small bottle of their wine and were truly surprised by generous sides they gave us included in the price of a bottle. They also provide outdoor seats with parasols, service was fantastic. Their showroom is very modern but cosy. Wine was great - well worth the price.
Olegs Kokojevs — Google review
What a lovely place to relax in the sunshine and drink wine. The wine was great and they gave us some little bites of food as well. I do wish you could have glasses instead of only bottles so that we could have tried more, but the friendliness of the staff made up for that disappointment.
sarah wurz — Google review
This was a slight disappointment fir me and other attending the same tour I met later at another bodega. The tour was very informative though for the price of 40 euros it's expected to be high quality. We visited all facilities involved in wine making process.
The wine tasting was a huge disappointment. We were able to taste only three wines if which the first was nothing to tell about. Other reservas were nice. We didn't have a chance to taste their Gran Reserva.
We weren't handed a bottle of their wine after the tour and the wine tasting. I afterwards found out that it should have picked up after tasting from the other location. The guide didn't mention about it at all. People left without the bottle.
Jarkko Mikkonen — Google review
This winery has a really nice setting. A very stylish, modern tasting room and a very nice area to sit outside, with a very relaxing feel to it.
Since we were travelling with our Bulldog we took a seat outside and got some wine (with free nibbles).
The wine was fine, got the typical Rioja flavour. But - compared to some other Bodegas we've visited - lacked a special something. Did not wow us enough. Prise-wise their wines are a good deal, but then there's so much competition around here. And considering that we just found the wine too average and quite light on the palate without any long-lasting flavours.
But the setting is really nice, staff helpful and friendly. Still a fine Bodega to take a seat outside and enjoy a glass or two.
Alex Haas — Google review
One of the most established and important wineries to visit in Haro. They are clearly set up for wine tourism. They offer lots of sitting areas if you want to only try the wine without an appointment. However the visit is very recommended. You visit all the different parts of the winery, including the workshop, where they make their own barrels. Visit is pricey but includes a bottle of their signature wine.
Gil Posner — Google review
No tasting by the glass available. You would have to get a full bottle. However, the price is not expensive. Shelves at the sides looked too empty. It would be amazing if they were filled up.
Bodegas Lecea is situated in the historic Las Cuevas de San Asensio neighborhood, where over 300 cave cellars were constructed by local farmers in the 16th century for wine storage. Visitors can embark on a tour of the caves, enjoy tastings and lunch, and explore the vineyards in a vintage Land Rover. The bodega's operations incorporate the caves into their modern-day activities while also showcasing historical artifacts.
We stopped off at Lecea for a tour of the caves, tasting, lunch and finally a tour of the vineyards in the vintage Land Rover. It was an excellent choice - Lidia was a fantastic guide, very informative and with a real passion for the history, traditions and methods used. This is a very good, family-run place.
The caves are an integral part of the bodega's operations in the present day but there are also previously used historical artifacts displayed. The tasting and lunch were excellent, with the food being homemade and showcasing local produce. Oh, and the wines were also delicious!
Finally the vineyard tour was fun riding in the car and very scenic - passing through the town and then to the vineyards which are up at a higher altitude. Plenty of very interesting information about the town, the wider Rioja region and the cultivating methods used now and previously.
We all had a great time and would definitely recommend a visit! Hopefully in the future we can visit for the grape stomping weekend...

We started our visit on an e-bike through through Lecea's vineyards with Estela as our exceptional guide. We then continued for the full tour of the bodega and walked through the caves and cellars, learned about the region's history of wine-making, while sampling their best bottles. The family's love for their craft and the region was palpable, and we hope we can come back here one day for a proper vendimia.
Kay Fabella — Google review
Nice tour and tasting for the money, but they need to limit the number of people on the tour. On our tour there were 16 people (plus a guide and one third party tour operator). That is far too many people to take down to the caves. It was hard to hear and felt claustrophobic in some tight spaces. Would only recommend if the number of guests was limited to 6 at a time.

The Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture is a spacious museum located in Briones, Rioja Alta. It showcases a wide range of artifacts and art pieces that span over 8000 years of winemaking history. Apart from exploring the collection, visitors can also take part in wine-tasting courses to sample the vineyards' wines. The museum provides an immersive experience for all wine enthusiasts by offering tours of the artworks and ceramics related to winemaking's history.
Museo Vivanco is an excellent starting point for a tour of the La Rioja wine region. Their cellar is amazing, as are some of the historical artifacts and art pieces in the Vivanco collection. The bodegas in Laguardia and Elciego are also within easy driving distance from this location.

Good place to visit. The guided tour is very nice and the guide very knowledgeable. The cellar is worth it and very well designed. The restaurant food is very nice and the service just fantastic. The wines were not so good to me. But highly recommended visit nonetheless.
David — Google review
The museum is excellent although none of the text is written in English. It’s an extremely interesting view into the history of wine production and wine consumption (the corkscrew collection is fantastic). My review is so low however because the wine tasting was abysmal. I have never had this many Barrique wines in a row that I just didn’t like. Our group found one of the white wines tasted like sewer water, while our least favorite red wine smelled and tasted like pickles. My verdict: definitely visit the museum, but save the tasting money for the amazing local family wineries which far surpass in taste and bouquet. We spent 40€ for tasting 16 glasses, of which multiple were the same wine - for that price you can buy 12 bottles a few hundred meters down the road.

An Unforgettable Journey through Wine History - Vivanco Wine Museum
Location: Briones, La Rioja, Spain
My recent visit to the Vivanco Wine Museum in Briones, La Rioja, Spain, left me utterly impressed and enlightened. This extraordinary museum is a true celebration of wine culture, history, and art, offering an experience that every wine enthusiast should not miss.
From the moment I stepped foot into the museum, I was captivated by the sheer grandeur and beauty of the surroundings. The architecture seamlessly blends with the breathtaking landscape of La Rioja, creating a picturesque setting for an unforgettable journey through the world of wine.
The exhibits within the Vivanco Wine Museum are a testament to the passion and dedication of the Vivanco family, renowned wine connoisseurs. I found myself immersed in a fascinating exploration of the ancient traditions and techniques that have shaped the wine-making process over millennia. The collection of ancient artifacts and tools used by winemakers of the past was simply awe-inspiring, providing a deep appreciation for the history and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle.
The journey continued with an exploration of the artistry inspired by wine. The museum's art collection, featuring original works by renowned artists like Picasso, Miro, Dega, Sorolla and others, beautifully depicts the cultural significance of wine in various forms of artistic expression. Each piece spoke to the profound influence wine has had on human civilization and left me with a newfound admiration for the beverage that has stood the test of time.
The Vivanco Wine Museum also houses an impressive wine cellar, featuring an extensive selection of La Rioja's finest vintages. The guided wine tasting was an absolute delight.
Overall, my visit to the Vivanco Wine Museum was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is a place where history, culture, and art converge, celebrating the magic of wine in all its facets. The knowledge I gained and the memories I made will forever be etched in my heart. If you have even the slightest interest in wine or culture, Vivanco Wine Museum is an absolute must-visit destination.

The place is really nice, took the guided tour which I would have loved to see it actually working but I think it only happens around October and November so take that in mind if you want to see that. All the information provided is great, answer all questions and super nice staff, had a great tasting and bought 3 bottles. They have special promotions too for purchasing their wine.
All the museum , bottles , etc are also made for blind people which is amazing!
Fernanda Paez — Google review
A very nice museum worth visiting for the wine lovers. You can easily spend one and half hours there and if you combine it with the visit to the winery it can sum to three hours. Highly recommended.
Konstantinos Karmiris — Google review
We booked the experience a day before, a bit unsure what to choose but the museum is amazing the tour and tasting were nice but the meal with it was worth a visit to a fancy restaurant. The food was fantastic and the 5! courses with the view from the wineyard plus the bottle of the crianza wine made it into a very special occasion. We'll cherish the memory for years to come and might come back sometime in the winter.

Amazing experience. I would recommend doing your research beforehand. As an English tourist, there is the basic information provided but there could be more to understand the environment in which you are walking around.

Bruna Marconi — Google review
We got our tickets and reservations online. It is a great place to learn about history of salt production from over thousand years. The tour guide and staff were great. Even the sillies questions were answer from our group. At the end we relax our feet in a salt pool. I recommended to visit with your family.

Unfortunately the main Cathedral of Logroño was closed while we stayed in the city. It was a pity as we had no chance to visit the interior. From the outside it looks nice though.
Franco Mangiacasale Fern?ndez — Google review
An imposing cathedral with the two twin towers over its beautifully carved Western doors looking down over the Plaza mayor of Logroño. Although not as grandiose as the Cathedrals of Burgos, León, Oviedo or Santiago it is still well worth a visit and has some excellent structures and pieces. Particularly worth viewing are the domes in the Eastern section, Its golden alter piece, elaborate southern entrance, and western Chapels.

Bodegas Franco Espanolas is a century-old winery in Logrono, just five minutes walking from the center of the city. The winery offers tours and tastings of its wine cellar, as well as individual or group tours. In addition to wine tasting, the trip also includes a visit to the winemaker herself.
I had a one day stop on my camino to Santiago. I decided to visit the Bodegas Franco Espanolas. It was a good idea because it was fanatastic. I booked a private tour in a small group. It was absolut interesting. At the end of the Tour we had a little Wine tasting.
The Tourguide made a great & perfect job.

Century-old bodega in one of the most beautiful and charming capitals of Spain🇪🇸.

Really enjoyable tour of this historical winemaker, with a small group thanks to the time of year. The lady that showed us around was both interesting and knowledgeable, and spoke good English. The tasting at the end of the tour included two great wines, plus more meat than the six of us could manage!

Beautiful winery and grounds. The tour into the cellars was amazing! Grab a tasting and see if they have anything special for sale in the shop. They will sell their vintage wines but be prepared to pay vintage pricing. Definitely book a tour a week or so ahead of time to be safe but we had no issue getting in on the same day... We originally (accidentally) booked a Spanish tour and were able to swap to the later English tour without issue.

We took the tour led by Kare, a lady who really expressed her enthusiasm and pride through her story and her uplifting ways.
The tour ended with a small tasting of their wines, also nicely explained by Kare on how to het the best feeling on what you drink. Very well done.
After buying some wine from their shop she even told us the best places to land for tapas in Laurel Street.
Thank you so much Kare for your nice way with us. It truly elevated our stay in Logroňes.

The winery is nice, elegant and the wines are good. They begin the tour by showing you the oak tonnels that would store 30,000 liters of wine. Because the underground storage is next to the river, it is unusually cold, therefore, they had to light fire underneath the tonnels to begin fermentation. The tour is slightly different so it is interesting. You choose two out of eight wines for the tasting. They offer white and red. My favorite is the single variety tempranillo.
The Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao is a renowned art venue showcasing masterpieces by notable painters like Velázquez, Goya, and Picasso. Established in 1908, it houses an impressive collection of Spanish and European artwork spanning from the 12th century to the present day. The museum's pre-20th-century collection primarily features works by Spanish and Flemish artists such as El Greco, Zurbaran, Murillo, Goya, and Van Dyck.
Small museum but each room intelligently pairs a current artist with a similar master. Audio explained the comparisons. Be an art aficionado or go with an intentional open mind about art.

A fine gallery with an elcectic mix of old and new styles, sometimes in the same room. Free to enter and some wonderful pieces sure to suit all tastes.

The Museum of Fine Arts is a must visit if you like classic art. The building is a classic art deco building. The numerous galleries house some of the most important works of the great Spanish artists including Goya. Take your time to enjoy the art at display. Should take about 2-3 hours. Enjoy.
Do remember to take you headphones.

Bilbao's "other art museum" is definitely worth a visit. Great architecture. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of old masters (including Zurbaran, van Dyck, Goya, and others) and modern art (including Victor Vasarely).

Absolutely delightful! The staff was incredibly friendly. I loved the collection, blending classical and modern art, including photography and at the time of my visit there was also a video installation. The ticket was free. The museum was refreshingly uncrowded, allowing for a peaceful exploration of the exhibits. Additionally, the on-site shop was a hidden gem, offering an beautifully curated books and souvenirs at surprisingly affordable prices. A must-visit!

Currently, this place is undergoing renovation/expansion. The admission is free. The current collection is not very extensive or well-known, but it is still worth a see if you are in the area. Other than couple of lesser known Picasso pieces, it is mostly lesser known and obscure Spanish modern artists and classical artists. The display itself is unique in that the classical artworks are displayed side by side with the modern artworks, creating a bit of visual tension as one peruses the museum.

The museum was being refurbished when we visited so there wasn't too much to see. However entry is free during the works. We visited in August and there were very few visitors in with us. The spaces are nice and the work is varied though not spectacular. I'm not sure it's worth a visit while so few rooms are open even though it's free.

Museo Plaza, 2, Abando, 48009 Bilbo, Bizkaia, Spain
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, an impressive structure crafted by renowned architect Frank Gehry, is a remarkable contemporary art museum. It resides in a former industrial area of Bilbao and showcases significant 20th-century artworks from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation collection. This gleaming museum, composed of titanium and glass, stands as a masterpiece according to architecture experts.
Bilbao was one of the stops for our cruise (August 2022). I didn't go inside because I'm not a big fan of modern art, but the design of the building is the main reason I visited (there's a building near my job that was designed by the same architect that has a similar roof pattern). There are some sculptures outside to see as well.
Tiffany Vaughn — Google review
The best thing about this museum is the design of the museum itself. Very impressive building.
There were a few really nice pieces and the majority of the pieces were too modern for my taste.
But when in Bilbao... Just pay a visit. You can go through the museum in 1,5 hours if time is an issue
Darby de Bies — Google review
Universal accessibility could have been better in terms of signs to the restaurant and back, but if you ask for help, you’ll get it. Definitely a place to visit, you don’t have to be a self proclaimed art lover to appreciate the Guggenheim. They’ve got modern, contemporary stuff, but also great engineering and figurative art.
Even walking around outside is wonderful, and I’d say it’s enough to tick the bucket list if you’re a jet setter, but do pop in if you’ve got the time. No regrets.
The gift store has a few cool gadgets, too!
We ate at the bistro. Great service, weird seating, a bit pricey, but what do you expect… Very tasty food, and all the more energy to continue enjoying the museum and whatever comes next! Recommended as well.

Such a beautiful architecture and modern art! It was the first attraction I’ve booked before going to Bilbao. I was impressed by the design and grandeur of the art around the museum and of the building itself. There is a bit of wait for the light room but it’s definitely a must! Couldn’t recommend this more. 5/5

The building was already amazing on the outside, but love to walk through it too. The exhibitions were quite diverse, so I like some of it. However, other things did not fully suit my taste. Currently the second floor is not open, so a 1 hour visit was all we needed. Luckily the tickets were relatively cheap. Definitely worth a visit!

Anton Ivanov — Google review
A fascinating museum of contemporary art. Seeing him live is a special experience. The facade of the golden reflection is surprisingly live. Artworks of huge sizes approach the scale of a huge space and work fascinatingly. You can also view the building from the bridge above, where it works particularly fascinatingly and where the sculptural architecture comes to life in its entirety.
Contemporary art becomes much more interesting in such an object
Marjan Poboljšaj — Google review
Wonderful collection of art. Just as great as seeing the art inside is taking in the architecture of the building itself and the grounds surrounding. There is a bridge right next to it that has been painted by artists it's a great place to get some photos of the city and river.
Brett Norman — Google review
Came here on a Monday Morning. It was relatively empty. No wait, got tickets and in we went. The top floor was closed for construction, so had to knock them down a star. Shouldn’t charge full price if 1/3rd of the museum isn’t open.
Some cool exhibits. Ours was all cars themed, so worked for us.
I would not recommend traveling a long distance for this museum. But it was fun regardless of the long trek.
Robin Mehera — Google review
An amazing museum, the building itself is a piece of art. The exhibits are displayed to great effect with plenty of room for viewing each picture. The Time structures were my personal favourites, it's rare to find something so massive inside, weird feelings of distorted volume, space and time when walking through them.
Dorian Wall — Google review
It has the name but does not live up to its fame. The architecture from the outside is beautiful. On the inside it is quite plain and cold. The collection is disappointing for a museum like this and you have to get in a virtual waiting line to visit the infinity mirrored room which takes forever. I suggest go scan the QR first (on the 3rd, visit the 2nd and 3rf floor and probably then it will be your turn for 1 minute in the room.
The staff is without exception unfriendly, uncaring or uninterested at best. The cloak room is a mess, they better install lockers.
Of you buy your ticket online you will save 2 euros. You can most usually do this for a time slot only 15 minutes after buying.

Amazing experience. Visit and walking around the gigantic museum, experiencing all the shades and reflections depending on the weather of Bilbao is an experience. As well as visiting the different exhibitions continuously researched by the Museum. The ground floor with the steel curves from Serra is a must see, no space could better fit the dynamics of the art.
Francesca Margherita Padula — Google review
Frankly speaking disappointing. Great building with terrible finishing. Walls and floors are badly done.

Whole level devoted to Picasso is something.
I'd say the place is spacious with interesting gift shop.

I supposed everything that needs to be said about this iconic building is said.
I must admit after reading and seeing pictures of the Guggenheim remotely, I set the bar too high. That said, it is still an overwhelming sight. I am just glad I am able to see it in person.
If you come to Bilbao, a big part of that decision is because you want to see this. And the exhibits if they are to your taste.
Keat Chiew — Google review
This one is very hyped up so when you go, you go with expectations. The ticket is not expensive. The building is an architectural wonder. The exhibitions were not as impactful or wonderful for us, to be honest. Some of the sculptures, unless made by Picasso, who would care about them? Lots of space hard to fill, you walk and walk without purpose. Quite nice outside actually. The shop is overpriced massively.

I love the architectural structure of the building more than many of the art works being displayed there. The museum is very managed and it is safe. The workers are very polite and kind. I love Puppy and all the monuments outside the museum, I also love that you have enough space to sit and rest from touring the city before or after going into the museum. I really love Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.

Unique shaping and design defines this museum at the heart of Bilbao. It is tidy, clean, spacious and with good indications. It changes the content to be displayed. On-line booking is cheaper than on-site. <18 years old do not pay. Prices are ok. Unlike other museums in the basque country, child-entertainment not available: you need to entertain yourself your kids while walking the museum 😅

Just wow! The Guggenheim one is the most stunning museums I have ever visited, and probably one of the best in the world. The outside of the museum is incredibly beautiful, and you can easily spend the entire day just admiring the intricacies, details, and thought put into the architecture. The artwork featured inside the museum is relevant, thought provoking, and equally beautiful. I highly recommend this place! We didn’t have any trouble buying tickets at the door, however we went on a weekday so that was probably why. If you are going during high season (in the summer) you should probably consider purchasing your ticket in advance. :)

The place is massive and beautiful with lots of sculptures and arts. Inside the museum is a bar and bistro, where you can get a bite and have a rest. Near the spider sculpture, a lady that takes beautiful pictures of you in an old fashioned newspaper cover p kinda print out, set up a stand there, anyone going there should definitely get their pictures taken by her.

My visit to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao was a unique and inspiring experience.

Beyond the exhibitions, the museum itself is a city landmark. There's no other way to put this, it has become the landmark of the city even more than the hanging bridge itself. The park that surrounds the museum is also gorgeous. The exhibitions are another thing; you can be lucky or not.

So I don’t know where to start!
The building itself from outside is gorgeous fabulous!! The area around is pretty and peaceful also nice for pictures 5 out of 5
Now the negative thing
I don’t know if we had a bad exhibition or it’s like always like this but the modern art exhibition is just ugly and has absolutely nothing, I don’t get the modern art and I also saw the people who visited it where also more likely surprised about everything inside!
And they took pictures like myself cuz I mean to look interested in it
Overall if you have time and it’s to cold or to hot outside go inside and sit on a bench for 15 Euro and look outside or wait for another exhibition otherwise spend the time around the Guggenheim museum because the outside is a 10/10

Nice exterior museum.
The interior exhibits on ground floor that are like a maze are the most interesting ones.

Some of The modern exhibits were too abstract and modern for my taste. I would not call them art.! A vase on the floor with a curtain around it … 🙄
Erietta Mair — Google review
We came late in the day on a weekday. 6:20pm or so. Initially thought that 90 mins wouldn’t be enough but it was perfectly fine. Helpfully staff have said that they close the top floor first and recommended we start there. Most of the famous paintings are there, Rothko etc.
A lot more of the experience is general vibe of place altogether rather than anything specific. The building is a huge part of this both inside and outside. Personally Maman statue outside was my highlight. The fire fountain scared us when we were taking Maman pictures. It’s a great laugh. I would say definitely see the outside of the building and walk the walkway on the river side in the day and night as they give up entirely different vibes. If you approach from the city it’s not 100% clear that you can see the statues on the riverside without a ticket but you can. Sunny Guggenheim is stunning from the outside. Night too. Bear in mind it is very windy outside though if you go off season. We went at 7pm ish in late March and it was chilly but fine.
Our Bilbao highlight

This is not just an icon building but a symbol of how to regenerate a whole city. It has wonderful spaces inside to display art. Absolutely love its art collection may not be to everyone's immediate tastes but if you have an open mind it will prove a thought provoking and enjoyable treat. A personal favourite is the giant Richard Serra sculpture Hall, breathtaking.
VP -yah — Google review
Extraordinary museum of modern and contemporary art, designed by the renowned architect Frank Gehry. The museum was inaugurated in 1997 and has become a popular tourist attraction. It is credited with playing a major role in the revitalization of Bilbao, transforming it from an industrial city into a major cultural destination.
The Guggenheim Bilbao is famous for its unique and striking architecture. The building is made of titanium, limestone, and glass, and its curved forms have been compared to fish scales or boat with sails. The building itself is considered a work of art, and it has become a symbol of Bilbao.
It will take at least 3 hours to tour the exciting exhibition in the museum. During the winter season, it is quite cold in the museum, so you should keep that in mind when choosing clothes. The museum has a toilet and cloakroom for visitors. There is also a souvenir shop, but the souvenirs are expensive and not at the museum level.
The ticket price is €15 per person and tickets can be purchased online. It is also necessary to choose an appointment, that is, the day of arrival at the museum

Maria Smith — Google review
I’m not a fan of modern art, so it is ridiculous that I give a low ranking. The building is worth of the visit, while the exposition (in my opinion) does not justify a trip to Bilbao. Again, I’m not an expert but compared to many other more famous museums, I think outside is much better than inside.

Casco Viejo is the historic center of Bilbao with a charming atmosphere, set along the riverside. The medieval district features narrow alleys with an array of modern shops and traditional taverns. La Ribera market, built like a boat, offers various food stalls and pintxo bars serving Basque tapas on sticks. Notably, Santiago Cathedral is a 14th-century Gothic landmark with an impressive spire while Teatro Arriaga draws crowds to opera and dance performances.

Awful attitude of the waiter outside. We had a very hostile welcome and were left to wait for a long time before we were able to get our drinks. Can't comment on the food - we asked if we could order food and the waiter walked away. At which point we decided it was time to leave. Avoid.

Because no table was available I want to try the Pintxos for to-go. Waited to be served for five minutes. Then the waitress sent me to the other side of the counter, where I waited five minutes again. Then I left without any food. They are good at ignoring…
Stefan Singer — Google review
Food is genuinely awful. In a city with so much amazing food, do not waste a meal here! Come for a drink in a lovely setting if you must but the food quality is so poor at relatively expensive prices. For example patatas bravas arrives chunky chips and mayo, salted asparagus is cold, watery, mushy white asparagus out of a tin. The pintxos is old, crusty and very basic... They have a nice sounding menu but none of the dishes we wanted (such as velvet crab and grilled squid) were available. Other people around us were also disappointed. Just warning you!
Sarah Aldridge — Google review
Smaller selection of pintxos than others in the area and honestly what they had was just “OK”. Gave 3 stars instead of 2 due to location and the food wasn’t terrible. If this is the only table available in the plaza and you only want a seat and cold drink, maybe a snack you might be satisfied here. Also, there are many pictures in this review that I assume are from the place next door which I didn’t try but looked better than Urdina.

The Zubizuri Bridge in Bilbao is a contemporary structure that stands out among the city's older crossings. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, this iconic footbridge features a futuristic tied-arch design and a curved walkway made of glass-bricks. Its sleek white arch, resembling a sail, spans over the Nervión River, suspending ten meters above its waters. Steel supporting cables descend from the arch and attach themselves to the footbridge, creating a ribbed and undulating appearance.
Wow, I can not imagine the river without this bridge. Beautiful arquitecture. It is a place for selfies, family and friends photos. Watch out for the gap between the bridge structure and the edge of the bridge pavement. In my opinion, children must be led by the hand of an adult. They get very happy there!

A wonderful architectural creation, as if it transports us to another time. Crossing the bridge you can admire the beautiful views of Bilbao and feel the breeze of the river.

The 'clean' city Bilbao has many beautiful bridges allover, but I think this one is the most beautiful one. Near Matiko, 9 minutes walk from Casco Viejo.

Great walking bridge. We were able to get from the Guggenheim to old town over this bridge
Christopher Acarregui — Google review
It is a Calatrava bridge, it does connect two banks of the river Nervion and it looks nice from a distance.
But it falls apart, the rubber walkway and the glass around it. It pollutes the river! Incredible!
And it is not very practical, only one direction to get on and off….
Frans Willems — Google review
An impressive bridge spanning the River Nervion. Nice to walk from the south side to the north with views across to the Guggenheim down the river.

The structure looks good but slightly dirty with homeless ppl around the bridge. They also covered up the glass portion of the bridge with carpet, which was the major attraction of the bridge. Pity

Provincial assembly hall with a stained-glass ceiling depicting the storied Tree of Gernika.
The history is probably what initially attracts people to visit but it's become a place well worth visiting in its own right
The original devastation which let to Picasso's amazing painting has been replaced by a beautiful town.

It was a really positive surprise. This place is a must if you go to Gernika. Ceiling is incredible and the furniture magnificent. Great also the gardens. Overall a really good experience to recommend everyone
Angelo Vassallo — Google review
For centuries, the municipality of Gernika has been the gathering place of the towns of Bizkaia . In the past, each church used to send its representative there to discuss the common problems of the Lordship of Bizkaia . Since the Middle Ages, these conferences were held next to the Arbola of Gernika and were called the General Assembly of Bizkaia . As time passed, several buildings were built around the Arbola in Gernika, and finally in 1828 the construction of the current Assembly Hall or Juntetxea began. 1876 _ were maintained until the year, in that year the laws that governed the way of life in Bizkaia , that is, the Charters, they were dismantled.

Very important place for the Basques. Its nice for tourists as well. If I understood correctly, spanish kings had to take an oath here under the oak tree to respect the authonomy of the Basques. This nice tradition was abandoned in 19th century though. If I was a king of Spain, would restore it for sure...

We live near Boise, ID and many people can trace their lineage to the Basque country. So we decided to visit and learn more about our ellow residents. The region spans mostly in Spain and a bit in France by the Pyrenees mountains.
We loved visiting the area and especially Guernica where nobles came the be blessed as rulers under the oak tree.

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is a small, rocky island located between Bakio and Bermeo that features a 10th-century chapel at its peak. Accessible via more than 200 stone steps, the island is connected to the mainland by a short causeway. The site is named after St John the Baptist, who local legend says visited it in the past. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognize this location from season 7.
This is amazing experience to visit the island. This location is famous for the Game of Thrones. Must see this place.
K Webfest — Google review
This place is great, nice sea, good services - free parking and very nice restaurant just before the walk.
However, the church was closed and that was not mentioned anywhere. Moreover, just be conscious that you need to reserve entrance with quite large advance and the walk is quite hard.
Giulio Mariani — Google review
Amazingly cool spot. I visited this place BEFORE seeing Game of Thrones. The bridge to the church takes quite a long time to get to, but is absolutely worth it. I recommend being in decent shape in order to get across the bridge. It really is a spectacular location like nothing else on earth. I highly recommend going!

The scenery is exactly the way you hoped it would be. The hike up and back is rigorous but very doable. Take water and use bathroom facilities before you embark. Here is my “pro” tip. Arrive EARLY meaning before the buses show up. Reservations are required. Take the earliest one you can get. If you arrive before 10:00 you may be able to access the route virtually alone. See my pics. It does not look this way an hour later

Make sure you book your free entrance online in advance. We arrived there early afternoon to be told that and when we tried to get our pass online it said no more guests allowed.
Even without getting in, a short walk uphill will allow you beautiful views, albeit not the full experience.

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe offers a a beautiful sea view, with incredible water colors with a man made bridge with241 steps, rocks, sea and wind. The access include a steep 400 meters of mountain walk. The magical island of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is an essential stop on the Basque coastline.
At the end of the steps you can step in a footprint said to have been left by Saint John the Baptist and to bring good luck. At the top you will find a picturesque chapel and, above all, spectacular views over the stormy Bay of Biscay, which has carved cliffs, tunnels and impossible arches out of the island. Spain has too much to offer, this is one of the Country's wonders. Not a fit for everyone, you need to have good physical condition.

Don't forget to have a reservation (which is free) for the visit, and give yourself enough time for the visit (ca. 3 hours). Finding the entrance is a bit of hassle, but worth it.
Krisztina Zala — Google review
Magical place.
IMPORTANT: You need a reservation during weekends and holidays. You can book ahead. It’s free.
If you decide to visit randomly on the same day, there is a chance.
You need to check the website during these times:
- at 12.58 (for the trip at 13.20),
- at 14.58 (for the trip at 15.10),
- and at 16.58 (for the trip at 17.25) for extra tickets.
They do release around 12 places during these times and in 3 minutes the places are gone. It is important to be in the car park near the site. We had reception and booked the tickets literally 20 min before our trip.
Good luck:)

Nothing really spectacular. In fact the rock formations along the somewhat cliffs are even nicer to look at. And it is too crowded to even be here to have any nice photos. What a waste in the location to be swarmed by tourists, especially Americans because they watch game of thrones. So this place has some sort of meaning to them..

The toilet is at the very beginning, in the parking area, you will find a one-story small building.
Be sure to reserve a parking space, otherwise you will not be able to park. There are many tourists on weekends and in summer.

You have to book your stay in advance. Price depends on your vehicle: car 5€, motorbike 2€, caravan 8€;
The walk from the parking spot to the end is around 6km back and forth. The water is beautiful in colour and you can even see fish swimming since it is cristal clear. You can also see vultures circeling above the rocks on a sunny day. We had 37°C but due to the shade of the forest the hike was still enjoyable.

San Telmo Ermita is a historic clifftop chapel from the Renaissance, featuring an ornate wooden altar added in the 18th century. It crowns the cliff overlooking Itzurun beach, known for its beneficial properties due to high iodine concentration. The chapel was also headquarters of the brotherhood of San Telmo mareantes in the 17th century.
It is worth the walk up to the San Telmo Ermita. Once you arrive, the cliff side view is spectacular! It is a good opportunity to take outstanding photos.

Located on the Itzurun beach and on a cliff, the small hermitage of San Telmo is dedicated to the patron saint of sailors. Inside, there is a Rococo altar from the 18th century, made of wood without polychrome or gilding. There are images of Santiago and Santa Clara next to it. The first written records of this hermitage date back to 1540. In the 17th century it was the seat of the San Telmo brotherhood

Itzurun is a sandy beach with towering cliffs that extend into the sea, making it a popular spot among surfers. The area is also notable for its scenic caves that are easily accessible and offer opportunities for exploration. While there is limited parking near the beach, visitors can find free spots within a short walking distance. It's an attractive destination for everyone, not just Game of Thrones fans who appreciate its beauty as seen in the show's first episode of season seven.
Love this beach! Sea was clear and lovely, there is enough shade because of the rocks. There is a public toilette and showers and you need maybe 10 minutes from the bus station to reach it. A little bar on the edge has coffee, drinks and snacks.

This is one of my favorite beaches in Gipuzkoa. Parking is pretty easy, park around Amaia Plaza, pay at one of the machines, then walk a few blocks straight to the beach. There are bathrooms and a small restaurant. The beach is smaller than others but the sand is soft and there are plenty of people to watch as well as beautiful views to enjoy.

It's a lovely beach with nice hiking routes around. If you want to get here, it's better to park in the free parking called "Parking Zumaia" which is on the dock yard where the boats/ships are docked. It's a 15 mins walk from the parking spot to the beach. It's hard to drive up close to the beach as there are no public parking spots and most are one way streets.

(Translated by Google) Easy and comfortable path to do the route on foot or by bike. In our case, we did the Lekunberri - Leitza section and return on foot and the ease of the route allowed us to enjoy everything that surrounded us: animals, landscapes, vegetation... The abundant shadows and the coolness of the tunnels in hot days.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful Greenway of about 65 kilometers, which runs through the Leitza and Larraun valleys from Andoain to Irurtzun or vice versa, crossing lush beech and oak forests, beautiful landscapes and old recovered stations.
It can be accessed from different towns: Andoain, Berastegi, Leitza, Uitzi, Lekumberri, Irurtzun....
The official website of the route on the Internet is very well explained.
A good option, if you intend to walk long stretches, is to return by bus; The Roncalesa stops in the towns along the route and the bus passes in the afternoons. Check the schedules on the website.
In many tunnels there is already light, but it is advisable to bring a flashlight, as well as water and warm clothing.

La página oficial de la vía en Internet está muy bien explicada.
Una buena opción, si se tiene intención de hacer tramos largos andando, es hacer la vuelta en autobús; la Roncalesa para en los pueblos del recorrido y a las tardes pasa el autobús. Mirar los horarios en la página web.
En muchos túneles ya hay luz, pero es recomendable llevar linterna, así como agua y ropa de abrigo.

Super nice view, that’s all as this s mostly a lil park for kids to run around. The funicular isn’t worth the >1 hour wait but I insisted as I thought I d be able to enjoy the ride, I was wrong. Overall attractions aren’t attractive, and the only hotel restaurant to avoid. There is though a lil bar on the side selling refreshments at half of the prices and queue, if needed rather go there. I mean, it’s a must go but you may be disappointed

The Aquarium de San Sebastian is a modern oceanographic museum located in the Old Town of San Sebastián, Spain. It features exhibits on local fishing and naval history as well as marine life from all over the world. The Aquarium was renovated in 2008, making the dreams of small children come true with specimens of "Nemo" from the film of the same name. Adults are also delighted to vastly improve their knowledge of marine environments through tours and interactive exhibits.
Very nice place to learn about local sea habitats and history of the city. Recommend for both kids ans grown up.
Stav Gizunterman — Google review
Great mix of museum and aquarium tanks.
First you will learn about the first time humans sailed around the earth, followed by local fishing and boat racing tradition. Then they switch to natural history ans slowly move towards the fish in the aquarium. Especially the 1.8 million liter tank with local fish is amazing. Can recommend a visit.

the aquarium is rather small, you’d see more as like a museum to be honest as there s basically only one big pool to see fishes for 14€ per adult. Thing is, it gets super noisy as s overwhelmed with families with little kids screaming around, so I personally couldn’t enjoy my time so much. Still worth for an hour of a rainy day

It's quite expensive considering what you can see inside. There's no much variety of animals inside: some jellyfish, fishes, seahorses, sharks and no much more. The other half of the visit is about boats and fishermen. 13€ for a visit of around 60mins.

On this very rainy, cold day, we decided to visit the aquarium here in San Sebastián. It’s quaint, easily done in 1-1.5 hrs. The first half is maritime history, followed by the actual aquarium portion. Nice activity out of the rain, although a bit cramped when everyone has the same idea. Tickets are a bit steep at €14 without options for family of 5, etc.

The whole thing is laid out well and has lots of opportunities for being up close with the fish and sea creatures. I especially liked the auditorium where people can sit and watch the huge tank of fish (see if you can find the two eels) and the tunnel under the shark tank. I saw a bunch of new animals and had a blast! It was a great rainy day activity and I'm so glad I didn't miss it!

A must do. A fabulous experience. Lots of things beyond the aquarium. Really interesting maritime history of the area and stunning miniature dioramas. Main tank with sharks is outstanding. Gift shop is disappointing. Poor quality fridge magnets, very few things with aquarium name on it and no guide book. 14 Euro for adults...absolutely worth it.

Wow... this Aquarium educates viewers on the importance and impact the ocean has on this northern part of Spain. The ocean provides the livelihood for many residents in Spain for centuries. It still does today, as well as the showing the many activities in the ocean even today. Breathtaking aquarium and sea life in sparkling tanks... fascinating to see the divers feed the fish... one of the best aquariums we have ever been to! We could spend days here and still not take it all in! The model ships are a true gem!

La Concha beach is a sandy and shell-shaped beach located in the Bay of La Concha in San Sebastian, Spain. It is one of the most popular beaches in the city and features restaurants and more. The beach stretches over a kilometer and a half from Miramar Palace down to the town hall close to Old Town (Parte Vieja).
Beautiful beach with nice clear water. Perfect escape for a quick swim. Be aware Atlantic Ocean is quite cold 😅😅. Really busy during sunny days.

La Concha is my one of my favorite beaches in the world. Id even go as far as saying its 10 times better then any beach in my hometown state of California. Clean white sand, plenty of space, and clear warm water. Perfect place for a couple days of relaxation and contemplation. Facilities include:
*showers and footwash stations
*benches and rentable chairs/umbrellas
*bars and restaurants
*life guards
*bathrooms
Anything not listen is within a block away. There were no pushy hustlers or obnoxious guests our entire stay at the beach. We absolutely look forward to returning.

What an amazing beach! It is such a beautiful thing to have such a great beach right in the city centre. It was crowded when the weather was good but nothing too wild. Sea is clean and bright, sand is soft. They have all the facilities you might need, lockers, showers, toilette.

Perfect beach for walking, riding bikes, taking a walk for your dog, swimming and so on. Very beautiful both daytime and nighttime.

Mesmerizing beach to sunbath, recharge your batteries and taking a cold swim.
At the beginning nearer to the city it's more crowded to the end less, but the sand is also more rough there.

Upon arriving in San Sebastián, we went to this spot first.
Very lovely beach with sparkling blue water. A huge marina and many street vendors.
Cool area to walk around.

Gorgeous beach in Donostia!! The tide makes a big difference in how much of the beach is exposed. There is almost none available at low tide! There are a bunch of staircases down to the beach, lots of benches and a nice (well-lit) side walk to walk alone the cove from the street level. The beach offers great views of the hills, the water, the sailboats and the row of buildings behind. Don't forget to spend some time just taking it all in!

Very large and wide city beach. For surfing the spot is rather unsuitable because the waves outside must be very large, so that in the protected bay surfable waves arrive.

Iconic beach in the heart of the city. It was packed but it didn't feel like we were on top of each other.
Really nice, family atmosphere. Very safe, with a lifeguard service running from 10am.
The sea was calm, clean and not too cold in mid-July!

Beautiful sandy beach! Enjoyed it for the day and it weren’t too busy! Lost myself to the noose of crashing waves and sun on my face! A highlight of SB for me for sure

As a beautiful beach. . La Concha beach... Concha is in spanish language, means is seashell as similarity of the shape. As famous beach, many people enjoy the beach, you can just seat on park bench with the beach view or taking a stroll or do sport. Alongside the fine golden sand with its lenght more than 1.300 metres makes perfect beach for barefoot walk. It is also well-equipped and offers all sorts of services such as toilet, locker & changing room, and lifeguards if summer.

I had a very nice experience, even the beach was full of people if you walk further away you can find empty spots where you can be comfortably. The beach was clean barely seen any trash. Great for family’s, couples, at sunset time i saw people walking with their dogs also. ( dog friendly beach)

Somewhat crowded when it's sunny and warm but considering it's in the city center. Beautiful view of the harbour, Santa Clara Island. The water is clean and not as cold as expected from the Atlantic Ocean. There are changing rooms free of charge under the board walk. Plenty of bars and restaurants.

Probably one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. We were there in October, the weather was perfect - chilly enough to wear a windbreaker, and warm enough at times to have a t-shirt on. The beach is shaped like a crescent moon, and it literally feels like you're walking on a postcard. The waves were super tiny, given the position of the coastline, so walking right up to the water line with your shoes isn't a problem. If you visit this city, then you'll surely go to this beach - it's a hot spot for tourists.

Beautiful crystal clear water much better than on the Mediterranean side.
The beach is good, it's an ideal place for a swim, no wonder why thousands of people everyday here. And there are cafés, restaurants up on the street and a shady place you can sit just under the stair looking over the beach.

what a beautiful beach. lovely yellow sand. Quiet busy but not congested. I had a great time paddling. A mix of ages and genders.

A nice beach in one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and Europe in general. Great place to get away and have a relaxing time laying on the sand, enjoying the sun and the spectacular view. The water is a little cold though. An excellent option if you’re visiting Donostia. Highly recommended!
Urgull is a historic military site turned lush green paradise, known as one of the three lungs of the city with panoramic ocean and city views. Visitors can explore winding paths, hidden staircases, overgrown statues and remnants of mosaic tile floors surrounded by nature. The highlight is the impressive Christ statue which offers stunning Instagram-worthy views. A light walk to reach it takes visitors through crowded areas with a halfway bar offering nice views. Sturdy shoes and water are recommended for this journey.
I’d recommend hiking around sunrise.. Went in the winter and it was beautiful and warm in the sun.

A nice walk to the top with an amazing view of the city, especially on a clear day. We started our walk from the city centre and then went down on the other side. We were completely lost. We ended up in the port area, and it wasn't too easy to find out way back. You know the streets are crazy and nothing east/west, north/south. Always on a diagonal or curving. A taxi ride back to our starting point saved us. Always an adventure!

Magical place with winding pathways, hidden staircases, overgrown statues, and remnants of mosaic tile floors being taken back by nature. It's about the journey and not the destination. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water.

Beautiful scenic view from the top. Worth the relatively quick walk. You don't need hiking shoes but flip flops won't do. You could probably summit in 30-40 minutes, but I'd suggest a leisurely hour each way.

Fantastic panoramic views of the city. A must see on your first visit. Try to climb on a clear, sunny day to best experience it all. You would be mad to not enjoy a beverage on top!

You can take a light walk and get up to the monument of Jesus Crist. There is a bar half way, with a nice view. Take into account that it is crowded.

Stiff walk to the top and worth the effort. Lovely view to the island in the middle of the bay, to Monte Igueldo (a nicer walk than the funicular on the other side of the bay) and across the town
David Crowe — Google review
If you are in the city for a couple days make sure you go there and enjoy beautiful views of the city, sea and the mountains. You can easily rest and sunbathe but dont forget to take some water with you before climbing!

Great hike; nice views from the top. Lots of benches to relax.
The historic quarter of Donostia-San Sebastian, known as Old Town, is a vibrant area with numerous tapas and pintxo bars lining its narrow streets. This lively neighborhood is flanked by the Urumea River, Mount Urgull, and Concha Bay. The Plaza de la Constitución is at the heart of this district, which was once a bullring and now hosts the Tamborrada drum festival.
