Why this trip

Pintxos are a way of life in San Sebastián, and children may join in: small bites on bread are easy to share, even if the hunger is only small. The city in the Basque Country is known for its cuisine, but it also has a beach and routes that families enjoy. Playa de la Concha is a curved city beach where children swim and build castles. On Mount Igueldo the viewpoint offers a view over the bay, and Cristina Enea Park is a quiet place to run around.

The sculpture Peine del Viento at the end of the bay makes children marvel when waves crash against the rocks. The San Telmo Museum is an option for a rainy day, and the Miramar Palace lies close to the beach. As the best travel time, the country data name April to June as well as September to October. With a flight of about 2 hours, the journey is short.

Bilbao and Madrid lie as neighbours in Spain, but for children it is worth staying in the city and spending the days on the beach. Eat early, before the bars fill up in the evening.
