What to expect
Your driver collects you from Bilbao and heads toward San Sebastian, a 60-minute journey. Once there, you'll explore Parte Vieja on foot—a maze of tight streets lined with pintxo bars where locals stand elbow-to-elbow eating standing up. Your guide suggests venues and leaves you free to order at the counter, sampling the region's signature small plates paired with the local white wine. Afterwards, you'll visit Getaria, a working fishing village with its own flavour. Throughout, the pace is yours to set.
Good to know
Alcoholic drinks aren't included but are cheap at bars. Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones. The guide provides suggestions rather than leading a fixed itinerary, so come prepared to explore independently. Prams are manageable on main streets but narrow alleys can be tight.
