About San Sebastián

San Sebastián, or Donostia in Basque, sits 47.1 km south-west of Biarritz Airport on the far side of the Spanish border. The city is famous for La Concha, the crescent-shaped bay considered one of the finest urban beaches in Europe, and for the highest concentration of Michelin stars per inhabitant in the world. The Parte Vieja, its old quarter squeezed between the harbour and Monte Urgull, is where the evening pintxos crawl begins.

The route from the airport follows the A63 past Saint-Jean-de-Luz, crosses at Biriatou and joins the AP-8 towards Donostia. Tolls are included in the fare. Most transfers end in the Centro or Gros districts, at the hotels near La Concha or in the Antiguo, near Ondarreta beach; drop-offs also reach the Amara bus station and the Zurriola surf beach.

Highlights

  1. La Concha bay and Ondarreta beach, with the funicular up Monte Igueldo for the view

  2. Pintxos in the Parte Vieja, the Bretxa market and the Michelin restaurants of the hills

  3. Zurriola beach in Gros for surfing, the Kursaal and the film festival in September

  4. An easy day trip from Biarritz, or a base for exploring Gipuzkoa and the Basque coast

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Where do I find my driver when I land at Biarritz Airport?

In the outdoor car park of Biarritz Pays Basque Airport, a short walk from the terminal exit. The airport is small: as soon as you land you receive a message with your driver’s live location, so you meet within moments.

02What if my flight into Biarritz is late?

Nothing changes for you. The flight number you give at booking is monitored, the pickup time moves with the actual landing time and there is no waiting charge for a delayed flight.

03How can I pay?

Payment is made at the end of the ride, by bank transfer, credit card, or cash. In some cases, payment may be requested at the time of booking.

04How long does the transfer from Biarritz Airport to San Sebastián take?

About 55 minutes for the 47.1 km, almost entirely on the A63 and AP-8 motorways. Allow a little more in July and August, when the border crossing at Biriatou can slow down.

05Can the driver stop in Hondarribia or Saint-Jean-de-Luz on the way to San Sebastián?

A short stop is possible: check "Add a comment about your booking" when you book to describe the stop, and Anthony will confirm the adjusted time and price.
