What makes this city so special to me is its vibrant energy: every day feels like a weekend, with music in the air, friendly faces on the beach, and the scent of delicious pintxos around every corner. I know neighborhoods like Antiguo, Zentroa and Gros like the back of my hand, and I love uncovering the city’s hidden gems on foot. Whether it’s sharing stories about local traditions or pointing out the best pintxo bar, I’m here to help you experience San Sebastian the way locals do - warmly, fully, and with a touch of curiosity.

Hi, I’m Ignacio!

I’ve lived in San Sebastián long enough to know its charming corners, hidden bars, and breathtaking viewpoints - but I still fall in love with the city every day. As a kind and fun storyteller, I love guiding travelers through the Old Town, sharing the history behind the plazas, and showing where locals actually eat, drink, and celebrate life. From tapas hopping to seaside walks, my goal is to make you feel at home while discovering the heart of Donostia. With me, you won’t just see San Sebastián - you’ll experience it like a local friend.

Hello, I’m Mikel, a San Sebastián local who loves sharing the charm and multicultural spirit of my city.

What I appreciate most is the human scale of the city - its streets, buildings, people, and visitors all create a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. I enjoy taking walks that connect the sea and mountains, exploring Mount Urgull and La Mota Castle, or swimming in the refreshing waters of La Concha Bay. I know the city center, Parte Vieja, Gros, the beaches of Zurriola and La Concha, Parque Cristina Enea, and the Palacios Miramar and Aiete neighborhoods thoroughly. With a deep appreciation for local sculptures and a comprehensive knowledge of the city, I enjoy guiding visitors on walking tours that make discovering San Sebastián easy, insightful, and memorable.
