New York architect, Frank Gehry, designed it! Take a leisurely lunch there, enjoying the city view from the bistro. Next, we put our explorer hats on as we head towards the Puente Colgante, the world's oldest transporter bridge. Want to catch a bird's eye view of the city? Then let's jump aboard the gondola! In the evening, we return to Donostia to dine at a traditional Basque cider house. Get ready to try some txotx, and don't forget your dancing shoes as local bands often play.

Day 3 - Adventure and Farewell

Let's wrap up our visit with an adrenaline pump. We'll be hiking the beautiful trails of Mount Urgull. As we ascend, we'll pass the ancient Cemetery of the English and reach the summit where the iconic Statue of Christ awaits. This is your chance to soak in the stunning panoramic view of the city. We then descend for a hearty lunch in the vibrant fishing district of Gros. Our last stop is Zurriola Beach, perfect for a sunset surf or a leisurely stroll. As the sun dips, we'd part ways, hearts and stomachs fuller, cherishing the memories of three unforgettable days in Donostia.
