Overview

Experience Donostia with Iñaki, a local (and certified) expert with a Master’s in Contemporary Art and creator of the DPB YouTube channel (25k+ subscribers). This is an intimate, high-quality invitation to discover the city’s narrative through a professional lens.

Enjoy a natural, quiet dialogue in a relaxed atmosphere. By strictly limiting our group to 6 guests, we ensure a personal and sophisticated cultural exchange at a gentle pace.

Highlights of our journey:

Grand history of the City Hall and Buen Pastor Cathedral.

Modernist & Rationalist architecture and elegant fashion districts.

The iconic Hotel Maria Cristina and Victoria Eugenia Theatre along the France Promenade.

The legacy of Basque navigators in Gipuzkoa Plaza.

The Old Town’s secrets, from San Vicente Church to the historic 1813 house, ending at the vibrant Constitution Plaza.

A deep, expert immersion into the soul of San Sebastian awaits.
