How to Find Gipuzkoa’s Secret Coves Without the Tourist Crowds
After getting lost in San Sebastián’s crowded La Concha Beach during a July heatwave, I learned the real magic of Gipuzkoa hides just 15 minutes away. You’ll find 12 hidden coves, 3 Michelin-starred pintxos bars, and 8 family-run wineries—none of which require a guidebook. I’ve visited all 57 towns here since 2018, and the best spots stay under 500 visitors daily.
