The city's cuisine is unique and delicious, a highlight of which is a localized version of tapas (a broad grouping of different appetizer dishes), called pintxos. Be sure to sample these before settling in for a late dinner (usually around nine) in one of the area's cozy restaurants. Paella, a rice dish garnished with freshly caught seafood, should not be missed. Be sure to try sidra, the local take on hard cider, or a txacoli, a tart Basque wine.

Car Hire in San Sebastian with Auto Europe

Make time during your stay in San Sebastian for a day drip to Bilbao, capital of the province of Biscay. Only an hour drive (about 100 kilometers), Bilbao is an adventure in itself, and well worth the trip. The city's most popular destination is a relatively new one, the Bilbao Guggenheim, which opened in 1997.

Resembling in part both a fish and a ship-a tribute to the city's maritime history-the museum was designed by famed American architect Frank Gehry. Its architectural design is considered to be a hallmark of the Deconstructivist aesthetic, and the museum's exhibitions tend to emphasize modern art.
