At the end of September one of my roommates and another girl we’ve become friends with took a weekend trip to San Sebastian. We had a fantastic time – we took a short hike along El Camino del Norte, swam in one of the best beaches, ate delicious food, and went up the funicular that overlooks the iconic U shape beach.

I actually just found out this was along the camino and not just a cute hike in San Sebastian when looking up details for this post! We went from San Sebastian to Pasajes de San Juan, which took about two and a half hours. It starts next to the pumping station at the beginning of Avenue Navarre – just follow the stairs up. I used this website for logistics/directions.

The walk was far more gorgeous than my iphone photos can do justice, but it was lovely and ended in the cutest little fishing village. Once in town, head to street Juan XXIII, where you can catch a bus every 20 minutes back to San Sebastian.

San Sebastian was great. The beach was amazing, the water warm, the food delicious and the view gorgeous. I highly recommend spending some time here if you get the chance!
