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!

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!

travelling from san sebastian to biarritiz in mid aug - just wondering the best way to get there - bus or train and which companies are best?!

I will be in San Sebastion for two months, August and September, and am trying to figure out how much I need to spend on eating out. I am a 19 year old mostly vegetarian who needs to eat three times a day! I am imagining that I can eat breakfast at home inexpensively. Any suggestions for great for or lively eating environments or just cheap and good holes in the wall would be appreciated.

Hola!

I will spend the whole of next week in San Sebastian (Sunday 24 - Sat 30 June), and wonder if someone can give me some tips on places to visit - like friendly cafes and bars, good restaurants (for one who is vegetarian, in the main) and quaint bookshops, or anything else interesting, or beautiful.

I've been told the beach is pleasant, and my hotel is a five minute walk away. They should be able to tell me about museums and art galleries.

Cheers,

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone out there has any contacts with a good Inmobiliaria/ estate agency covering Donostia San Sebastian. Would be v useful if had some command of English or French.

Many thanks in advance,

I've made a reservation with Pension San Jeronimo in San Sebastian during the running of the bulls. When I checked hostelworld.com some traveller had written about how he made a reservation here for 2 nights, but when he arrived, the Pension only gave him one night even though he paid for 2, and he had no place to stay the 2nd night!

I e-mailed the Pension using an e-mail address found on my reservation confirmation form, but the e-mail bounced back saying the e-mail address does not exist!

I had to reserve here because there were no other options - all booked because of the Running of the Bulls. But I'm wondering if I might end up showing up and this Pension not having space for me or something like that. So far, the place seems sketchy. Does anyone know anything at all about this Pension or heard anything about it?

Thanks so much!!

This is a very interesting place. Does it have a name? How can I reach it? It would be great if you could locate it for me on a map.

Thank you
