Basque Country Tours and Vacation Packages

Overview

The Spanish Basque region rests in the northeastern corner of Spain, stretching from the French border to Bilbao. It’s characterized by its unique language, rich traditions, diverse landscapes, and world-renowned cuisine. The internationally acclaimed city of San Sebastian is a stunning and sophisticated destination on the picturesque Basque coastline, gracing a bay where twin peaks frame an exquisite sandy beach reminiscent of the famous shores of Rio de Janeiro. Walk along the beachfront promenade extending the length of the bay and enjoy the charming Old Town at one end and a modern shopping district at the other. San Sebastian boasts one of Europe's finest beaches and is the culinary capital of Spain, home to around 30 Michelin-rated restaurants for you to enjoy. 

Ascend the peak of Monte Igueldo and choose between a leisurely walk or a funicular ride before visiting Monte Urgull, another peak that will entice you with a woodland hike leading to a historic castle overlooking the city. Relax on San Sebastien's two main beaches: the central La Concha, named after its shell-like shape, and La Ondarreta to the west before exploring the Miramar Palace, an architectural gem from the late 19th century set amidst a lush park. 

Venture to the Old Town centred on the lively Plaza de la Constitución and the countless restaurants and bars offering pintxos, a delightful local snack akin to tapas, featuring a variety of skewered ingredients. Walk back in time to the charming 16th and 18th-century churches and a 16th-century monastery within the Old Town.
