Where to sleep in San Sebastián — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Parte Vieja — pintxo ground zero
The Old Town's bar-lined lanes — you're above the party, and the party is delicious.
Centro — La Concha at the door
Belle-époque blocks behind the famous bay. Elegant, quieter after dark.
Gros — the surf side
Zurriola's waves, younger bars and the city's best-value rooms.
Budget note
San Sebastián runs expensive — pensiones (guesthouses) in Gros are the local hack.
