Actually very family-friendly, with a rich basque culture and perfect for holidays, you won’t be disappointed by San Sebastian!
San Sebastian
The center of the basque culture
Very proud of its origines and its specificity, you will be seduced and delighted by this city and its inhabitants, almost rebel against the Spanish establishment localized in Madrid! But be prepared to an unstable weather, always take your umbrella with you when you go out, even if it is very sunny from a first point of view!
A gastronomic break
Take a gastronomic beak in San Sebastian and enjoy the numerous tapas bars in the center of the old town. Try different bars and taste also the local serrano jamon and various alcohols! Cheap and typical!
In other words, it is definitely worth spending some days in San Sebastian and go and visit its neighbour Bilbao as well if you can (notably the Guggenheim museum..). Basque country, either French or Spanish, is really different and it is not possible to skip the regional culture and language, as everyone will remind it to you and how they proud of their cultural legacy.
