San Sebastián Travel Forum

Hello,

Has anyone ever eaten at Tedone? If so, please tell me a little bit about your experience, the food, service, price, location, atmosphere, etc.


How would I get there from the city centre, bus, or taxi and approx. cost?
Address: Corta, 10, San Sebastian - Donostia 20001

Thanks!

Hello!

Does anyone have any recommendations for afforable places to eat regional food in San Sebastian? My budget will allow me to eat at perhaps one Michelin rates restaurant while there for several days. So, what and where else do I eat?

Thanks for your suggestions!

My second time to visit the Basque Country and loved San Sebastian & Lekeitio dining experience. My question is, any feedback on Getaria and Elantxobe? We go for culinary travel. Thank you for any input.

I have a reservation at Arzak for 2, but my travel partner can no longer make it. Is it worth going there, even if alone?

Hi

I'm going to be in Barcelona for a week or so in May and want to visit a friend living in San Sebastian on the weekend of 16 & 17 May. Has to be the weekend because he works during the week and wants to show me around. I've looked at the Spanish trains website www.renfe.es and although (with the help of lovely Isa) the first page can be seen in English, when you get to the next page it is in Spanish and I become totally lost. I can figure some things out like that you can save a euro or two by purchasing on internet rather than station but that's about all. Don't understand about the period section etc.

I would just like a bit of help or advice in getting from Barcelona to San Seb and back by train if possible. Want to have as much of Saturday and Sunday in San Seb as possible so I figure an overnight train would be good. i would definitely want a sleeping compartment where I could lie down, sleeping sitting up is not an option for me due to bad back.

If anyone has done this trip or can offer advice I would be very grateful. Maybe there is an easy to navegate website in English or a agent site.

Is there even an overnight train? I'll be in Barcelona from Wednesday 13 or Thursday 14 so if it's likely that there will be plenty of space I am happy to buy tickets at the station a day or two ahead instead of pruchasing them now, to save the hassle of going through the renfe.es confusion.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thank you
Anita

Hi

My partner and I are arriving in San Seb on the 5th July and wish to attend the Running of the bulls opening ceremony and the bull run on the 7th July.

We were wondering if we should book ourselves on a tour or book accommodation and organise our own transport to pampalona. If we should organise our own transport who can we pre book with.

Thanks

My husband and I are planning our first trip to Spain in April or May of this year. We plan on flying into Madrid and staying one night...then renting a car and driving to Barcelona..not sure how many nights to stay or which luxury hotel to book? Then we planned on driving on to San Sebastian but not sure how long to stay or which luxury hotel to book? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, as our itinerary is very flexible. Thank you!

My husband and I will be traveling to San Sebastian early April to meet up with our son (who is studying there). We have never been to Europe and would like to see as much as possible (without making ourselves nuts). What would be reasonable since will be there about 12 days?

I'm trying to find a restaurant I went to last year in San Sebastian. It was out near the university, near to a Citroen garage. In an Industrial area. It was run by a husband & wife. The husband was the chef and the wife worked front of house. The chef had worked at Arzak.

It was very good and I would like to go back.

If anyone can work out which restaurant I mean please contact me.

Regards

Martin

I will be staying in San Seb from 12 - 14 July and wanting some advise on any beautiful beaches, great restaurants and things to do. We will at some point catch the bus to Pamplona for the seatival so any advise there would be great also.
Thanks

Being a pale pasty Londoner, I need a sunshade when I go to the beach. Does anyone know whether I will be able to hire them on the beach or whether I will need to purchase one from a shop?

Hi,

I'm intending to get travel by land (preferably by train) from San Sebastian to Italy (Florence to be exact) in June. I wondered if anyone has done this or can tell me if it is possible to do easily. I've never traveled by train in Europe so not sure how easy it is. Looking at raileurope.com it looks very possible but could involve lots of changes. Could I do it in a day?

Any help most welcome

We are a group of 5 and would like to take a day trip to Tafalla from San Sebastian, what would be the best form of transit for this?

My friend and I are on a road trip through Northern Spain next week and we will be in San Sebastian when my team Liverpool play Chelsea in the Champions League. Can anyone recommend a place to watch the game where there will be some good atmosphere.

Was hoping that someone could help me plan a drive from San Sebastian to Zaragoza.

How long would it take to make the drive if I passed through Pamplona and detoured to Jaca & Huesca, before heading into Zaragoza? It seems like the drive thru Tudela would be quicker but not as pretty. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Any suggestions for places to stop during the drive?

Would like to take train from Biarritz to San Sebastian in late June 2008. Can't seem to find info, can anyone please provide guidance. Are there direct trains, or must one change at Hendaye. Is it a pretty journey, or am I better off driving? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

What is the best way to travel from Bilbao to San Sebastian?

Thank You

I am looking for an hotel (2/3*) in the San Sebastian area on April 20th. before taking a ferry from Santander the next day. I've looked on VT but not found anything suitable.
Anywhere within 20-30 minutes of San Sebastian would be fine.

Recommendations and/or Suggestions greatly appreciated.

5 of us will be arriving at San Sebastian Airport on June 9th. We are staying at the Hotel Maria Cristina. Is there an airport shuttle from the airport or is a taxi a better bet, keep in mind we have luggage for 5. How much does a taxi cost from the airport? Thanks!

Hello,

Can someone advice me any airports in Belgium, The Netherlands or Germany to San Sebastian that host cheap airlines?

tnx

We are planning to stay in san sebastian for new years eve and wonder if anyone can give us advise over what/where to go for the night. Are there any restaurants open or is it better to eat tapas etc in the bars?

When was the earlier bullring on this site transformed into the Plaza?
My Grandfather told me a story about going to San Sebastian from Aldudes, France about 1900-1902 during a Basque Festival (might have been San Fermin) and running with the bulls with his brothers. What might have been the route of the running? Perhaps Calle San Jeronimo or Calle Narrica? He met my Grandmother at the dancing at the Festival and was a little sketchy on the details of the bull running. More important things on his mind, I would guess.
Thank you for your review and response.

Hey all...

Just wondering does anyone know of a bus company that can transfer a group 17 people from Biarritz airport to San Sebastian in November and give us a return transfer back to the airport again..I've looked at a couple of websites but it seems impossible to get transfers between France and Spain.I found one company but they were only able to take 16 people...any help on this query would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks a million.

Hi,

My wife wants to go to San Sebastian on Monday September 24th to visit clothes shops so I thought it best to insure it's not a bank holiday as we have been caught-out in the past.

Would be grateful for confirmation that the shops will be open and particularly on Mondays.

Thanks.

Hello all,

We'll be driving from Madrid up to the San Sebastian area in October. Are we going to have a problem finding a hotel with parking in San Sebastian? Or, should we stay somewhere outside of San Sebastian? But, then we will still have the problem of where to put our car when we visit San Sebastian.

Help, please.

Thanks!
