Where to stay in San Sebastián

Centro and La Concha are the easiest bases for a first visit, the Old Town suits pintxos-led evenings, and Gros works well for surfing and a younger rhythm. Hillside hotels offer views and parking but make dining on foot less convenient. Summer and festival dates reward early refundable bookings.
