About public transportation: How to pay for public transportation in San Sebastian? The local […]
Winter is here and with it the bad weather. We the donostiarras are used to live with it, it’s part or our day to day, however, we understand that people passing through don’t necessarily share our resistance. Here you have a series of micro plans for all the irreductible travellers to whom few drops of […]
Although nowadays the brutalist Atotxa Tower is the tallest building in San Sebastian, until 1973 that honour belonged to the Good Shepherd Cathedral. This is one of the buildings that shows best the quick expansion that the city experienced at the end of the XIX century. El Buen Pastor Cathedral (which translates to The Good […]

Donosti is right next to the sea (wow, I am a genius), and the sea and the city have been entangled even before the construction of the city itself. It has turned us into what we are, it has given us our character,… and most importantly, it has fed us. But have you ever looked […]
Our tours, both on foot or by bike, usually start at our office doors. It is a big square with beautiful benches, which evoque the “trecandís” so common in catalan’s modernism, and there are a lot of businesses, from those that have been opened forever (like the historical Casa Ponsol or the famous bar El […]
One question we usually hear during the Free Tour is if it snows a lot in Donosti, if we have hard winters. It is logical considering that in summer the cloudy days are not rare when not rainy. The answer is no. The winters here are mild and snow is really rare in San Sebastián, […]
The bicycles are an essential part of Go Local. With them we daily visit the different districts of Donosti rain or shine in our Bike Tour.
