San Sebastián

Getting Here and Around

San Sebastián is a very walkable city, though local buses (€1.40) are also convenient. Buses for Pasajes (Pasaia), Errenteria, Astigarraga, and Oiartzun originate in Calle Okendo, one block west of the Urumea River behind the Hotel Maria Cristina. Bus A-1 goes to Astigarraga; A-2 is the bus to Pasajes.

The EuskoTren, the city train, is popularly known as "El Topo" (The Mole) for the amount of time it spends underground. It originates at the Amara Viejo station in Paseo Easo and tunnels its way to Hendaye, France every 30 minutes (€2.10; 45 mins). EuskoTren also serves Bilbao (€5; 2 hrs, 40 mins) hourly and Zarautz (€2.10; 40 mins) every half hour.

For the funicular up to Monte Igueldo (943/213525 www.monteigueldo.es €2.70) the station is just behind Ondarreta beach at the western end of La Concha.
