SURROUNDING AREA
Hotel Aginaga is the perfect place to discover everything Gipuzkoa and the Basque Country have to offer. Only 10 minutes from San Sebastián, our hotel sits in a privileged setting combining green mountains, beaches and a famous gastronomy.
The Hotel Aginaga is served by a nearby bus stop, the ideal starting point for exploring the coast of Gipuzkoa or visiting the inland areas of the Basque Country. However, we above all invite you to discover the capital of Gipuzkoa, San Sebastián, known as Donostia in Basque, where you can enjoy its beauty, its culture and its food.
Donostia-San Sebastián
A car journey of scarcely 20 minutes separates us from the Pearl of the Cantabrian Sea: Donostia-San Sebastián. A unique spot in which to enjoy the best pintxos, romantic strolls with views of La Concha Bay, museums, iconic restaurants serving authentic Basque cuisine and an enviable cultural life: the International Film Festival, the Jazz Festival, the Classical Music Fortnight… These are only some of the charms that make this city a must for tourists from all over the world.
Zarautz
If you love surfing, Zarautz has one of the longest beaches and spectacular waves certain to take your experience to another level. But apart from its beach and waves, Zarautz has an impressive foodie life (the Karlos Arguiñano Restaurant for example) both in its restaurants and in the bars serving pintxos on its seaside promenade.
Balenciaga Museum
In Getaria you’ll find a museum dedicated to an international fashion icon: Cristobal Balenciaga. A retrospective look at this 20th century genius, born in Getaria, who skilfully set about revamping the concept of haute couture and creating a style that still today provides a source of inspiration for the major fashion brands worldwide.
Getaria
Twenty-five minutes by car from our hotel you’ll come to Getaria, the coastal town home to the first explorer to circumnavigate the globe: Juan Sebastián Elkano. A village boasting the typical architecture of fishermen’s houses and unparalleled cuisine: fantastic fresh chargrilled fish served with the region’s finest txakolí wine and views of Getaria’s famous ‘mouse’ hill.
San Sebastián Aquarium
The San Sebastián Aquarium has a history dating back more than 100 years. Without a doubt, one of its greatest attractions lies in the more than 31 tanks distributed over the floor dedicated to the Cantabrian-Atlantic coast and another housing tropical species.

Boat trip from Zumaia
One of the most highly recommended experiences is the boat trip from Zumaia on which you can enjoy views of its impressive Flysch boasting rock formations dating back millions of years, the natural witness to the history of our planet. The phenomenon has also been used as the sets for myriad famous films and series, including Game of Thrones and the comedy film 8 Apellidos Vascos (Spanish Affair).
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
A car journey of only 1 hour will take you to the iconic Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Its unmistakable outline gave Bilbao a new and more modern appearance, prompting total transformation of the city. The museum has a permanent exposition and a varied calendar of temporary shows running throughout the year. All of a cultural experience with views of the Bilbao estuary making for a great day out.
