Why choose Donostia for your road trip
Donostia — a city worth exploring
Donostia-San Sebastián sits along the Bay of Biscay, framed by Monte Urgull and Monte Igueldo, with La Concha beach consistently ranked among the finest urban beaches in Europe. The city's Old Town, or Parte Vieja, packs more bars per square metre than almost anywhere else on the continent, making it the heartland of pintxos culture. Wander through the San Telmo Museoa, a former Dominican convent turned cultural museum, or take the funicular up Monte Igueldo for sweeping views of the coastline. The Kursaal Congress Centre, designed by Rafael Moneo, anchors the Zurriola district with its translucent glass cubes. Bilbao lies just 100 km to the west, while the French border town of Hendaye is only 20 km to the northeast, opening up cross-border touring with ease. The coastal roads around Donostia wind through green hills and clifftop stretches, so allow extra time and enjoy the scenery rather than rushing between stops. Hiring a campervan or motorhome through Yescapa connects you with local owners in the Basque Country who know the best routes and overnight spots. A campervan gives you the freedom to chase the next pintxo bar, surf break, or quiet cove at your own pace — and with Donostia as your starting point, every direction leads somewhere memorable.
Best time to visit
Donostia comes alive in summer, with the San Sebastián International Film Festival drawing global attention every September and the Semana Grande festivities lighting up the city each August with fireworks, concerts, and street events. Campervan travellers will find the period from June to September ideal, with long daylight hours and warm conditions for coastal drives. Book early through Yescapa for July and August, as these are the most popular months. Spring and autumn bring quieter roads and pleasant temperatures, perfect for exploring at a relaxed pace. Even winter has its charm — Donostia's pintxo bars are busiest on cool evenings, and motorhome hire rates tend to be lower, making it a great time for a food-focused getaway.

We booked the van for our time on Crete and had a really beautiful trip :) We explored the south of the island and loved every moment of it. The van was easy to drive, comfy and homey, and everything was just as pictured. Beforehand we received videos that explained and showed us everything, so we felt well prepared from the start. Everything fit and worked perfectly. Meven was always helpful, friendly and caring in his communication. Thank you so much for the experience, it was a truly magical time :)

Christophe was great to deal with. He responded promptly to all of our queries prior to our journey. The vehicle was exactly as advertised, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Collection and drop-off was easy. The hand-over of the vehicle was comprehensive and we felt confident as we began our journey. We highly recommend!

Brenda si è rivelata disponibile sin dal primo momento. Il van non ci ha dato alcun tipo di problema e ci ha permesso di visitare meravigliosi posti nella parte nord dell’isola regalandoci albe e tramonti indimenticabili. Super consigliato! ☀️

We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with YesCapa! A-Z, just great. Claudio was very kind and friendly, texting on the app and when we met at the pick-up. The review of the car was easy going, no rush at all, yet felt very professional. From the formal, general information to the little specs and hacks that would improve our trip. Claudio also gave us tips and recommendations for our route and even offered to store some of our luggage so our trip will be more convenient- Thanks! The car is very easy and smooth to drive. Highways or a gravel road to camp, runs perfectly. We didn’t have a single problem. Another great feature is that it’s practically a private so no problem parking it anywhere, including zones where motorhomes and towable home are not aloud. As for the “home” aspect of the car, it takes a day or two to get the hang of the transformations. Personally, I’m an “analog” person and prefer to push/pull until I hear the ‘click’. Once or twice and everything worked fine. The inside table, Kitchen, fridge, pop-up roof, bed and more. We cooked every day of our trip, very functional. Claudio and Pamela were easy-going and welcoming on our return to the drop-off the car. To sum it up, If you’re in for a classic and smooth experience for your trip, we highly recommend renting Claudio and Pamela’s Vito!
