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.

Very nice campervan, exactly like the photos, fully equipped and the host was helpful answering all of our questions even when we were on the trip!

Just back from an amazing trip in Francois’s campervan. Everything with the van was perfect. It came with everything we needed and was so smooth to drive. There were 3 of us in the group - 1 adult and 2 teens and there was plenty of room. Bowls, plates, cutlery and cooking utensils were included of course. Bedding is available for a small extra fee Francois was amazing to rent from. He ensured there was great communication before, during and after the trip, and he arranged very handy pick up and collection points. He also sent several “how-to” videos over WhatsApp, which really helped us figure out our temporary home. I would highly recommend renting from him.

we had a really wonderful time with Aurélie’s camper van. A very reliable vehicle and fully equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable both in campsites and finding amazing panoramic views in the Pyrenees to camp overnight. Aurélie is a fantastic host, always reachable and going above and beyond for us. We felt very at home for our whole trip!
