Itinerary

Day 1

Meet your guide for a foodie tour


It's a warm welcome to San Sebastián today. A great way to introduce you to the city, and to Basque culture, is to pair you up with a local guide and send you off to explore the informal eating scene that is so famous in these parts: pintxos. These are small works of bread-based culinary art, a Basque version of tapas if you will.

Explore San Sebastián at your own pace


Day 3

Travel by train to Barcelona


Day 4

Soak in stunning views from Montjuic
