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.

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Donostia

Henrique
5 / 5

Super nice and friendly owners. Available and easy communication. Well prepared video tutorials. The campervan itself is super good, it had some small issues due to the recent high demand and workshops being on holidays, but they were totally upfront and transparent about each single detail. Nothing that harmed any of the experience. Totally recommend!! :)

Una parte del viaje bien, pero el final muy mal. El vehículo muy bien, y el dueño siempre contestó a cualquier duda que tuvimos durante el viaje. También nos pidió un favor, que devolviésemos la Camper dos horas antes de lo que habíamos contratado, y aunque nos suponía una espera de más de 3 horas en el aeropuerto, acepté, vista su amabilidad durante el viaje. Pero en la devolución, todo se estropeó. En el repaso que hizo al coche, vio un pequeño rozón del tamaño de una uña cortada, y otro rozón largo, pero que no tenía ni el grosor de un pelo (de hecho, a plena luz del día, sólo se veía si lo iluminaba con el flash del móvil...). Por esas dos pequeñeces, junto con una lengüeta de plástico del techo, de 1cm de tamaño, nos cobró 180€. Que además, no nos devolvió el resto de la fianza (que eran 750€) hasta casi 4 semanas después (hasta el 9 de septiembre cuando el vehículo lo recogió el 15 de agosto), y por si fuera poco la tardanza, no aportó absolutamente ningún recibo del coste de los arreglos. O sea, una sensación de indefensión total.

Feeling right at home Traveling across Portugal with Koda was a perfect, unique, and wonderful experience ☺️ Carina and Rafaela met us right at the airport and explained everything about the van—covering every detail clearly and effectively. We had never taken an off-the-cuff trip like this before; without any set plans, we drove all the way to Sagres, navigating easily through narrow roads, campsites, and stunning beaches 😍 Its compact size makes it comfortable to drive almost immediately, allowing for effortless maneuvering even on narrow roads, whether driving uphill or on light off-road terrain. The van is fully equipped: it has kitchenware, a sink, a convenient handheld shower, and even a solar shower, plus two camping chairs and an easy-to-assemble table. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and when not in use, it converts into a small bench. It was easy and delightful to feel right at home during this vacation; we can’t wait to return to Portugal to explore the north with Koda 🧡

Absolute pleasure to host this group of three! Everything went completely smoothly from pickup to return. They treated the camper with great respect, followed all guidelines, and kept in touch throughout the trip. Reliable, responsible, and friendly—10/10 renters, highly recommended to any owner on Yescapa!
