A Perfect Day Trip From San Sebastian (San Pedro & San Juan)

This literally is the best day trip from San Sebastian. If you like light hiking, beautiful views, seaside villages, good wine and great food (and if you don't, you're crazy!). In February, Yoly and I walked from San Sebastian 3 hours east to the beautiful villages of San Pedro and San Juan. If you're ever in the area, you should do this! More info down below about how to do it. Venga, lets go!

MORE ABOUT THE VIDEO

So you're probably wonder, how the hell do I do this trip on my own?

First, let me get one thing clear - because all the different names can be confusing. So you're going to be walking from San Sebastian to Pasajes (in Basque it's called Pasaia) along the trail called Talaia Ibilbidea. Pasaia is a municipal area, and it has four village in it. Two of those villages are called San Pedro and San Juan. Sometimes they're called Pasajes San Pedro and Pasajes San Juan. And it can all be a bit confusing. But anyway - I hope that's clearer.

So, how do you do the walk? First, head to the starting point petrol station (which is here: https://goo.gl/maps/efgJwf617fwyYnag7). From there, you walk up the street Zemoria Kalea - just keep following it for about 5 minutes. And then you'll hit some steps, from then on you're on the path. And to make sure you're going in the right direction, just keep following the signs for Pasaia (the Basque name for Pasajes). And below Pasaia on the signs, it'll say, "Talaia Ibilbidea" which is the name of this path that goes from San Sebastian to Pasajes.

And really you can't go very wrong. It's about 2.5-3 hours walking to the villages.

The Albolea (Basque whaling ship) is here: https://goo.gl/maps/RXKvtut7djUFZBVG8

The first bar Muguruza is here: https://goo.gl/maps/Fmnp69uCtPzuv1ho9

You get the boat here: https://goo.gl/maps/GVPuoRgnyp5zRnBH9 (it comes every couple of minutes and cost 0.80 each way per person).

Casa Cmara is here: https://g.page/casacamara?share (** you should call ahead to reserve to avoid disappointment). And the fish we got was baked monkfish (called "rape" in Spanish).
