This is a very beautiful beach in San Sebastian. The entire beach is very large and has soft sand. Many tourists come here to sunbathe or participate in water tours. It is very lively, so don't miss it.

Alderdi Eder parkea is a pleasant urban park and leisure area situated south of Old Town and northeast of La Concha Beach. The park is filled with palm trees, other interesting tree species and nicely landscaped flowerbeds. There are walking paths, park benches, a merry-go-round and other light entertainment for the little ones.You can see the historic City Hall building and walk along the promenade enjoying views of the sea and beach nearby at Alderdi Eder Parkea. Overall, this is a nice spot if you are looking for green space or leisure grounds while in San Sebastian. Note that there is not much shade anywhere in the park so bring a hat and apply sunscreen if you plan to spend much time here.

I spent a few hours admiring the Comb of the Wind/El Peine del Viento by Eduardo Chillida, and it was such a treat! There were lots of people around taking photos and kids playing, which made it such a lively and happy place. If you love capturing your experiences on IG, this is the perfect spot for you!

This was perhaps the most disappointing place we visited in San Sebastian.
From the very first minute, it felt like they were trying to make money on literally everything. First, you have to pay to enter the grounds—3 euros per person, not per car. Then, almost all the attractions are paid separately, there are huge lines everywhere, and even the toilets are paid.
All day, we never felt like the cost was worth it. On the contrary, it seemed like they were simply trying to extract as much from visitors as possible.
The complex itself didn't particularly impress us. There are much more interesting places with beautiful views and entertainment where you don't have to pay for every step.
Personally, I don't recommend wasting your time or money on this place. In my opinion, it's more focused on making money off tourists than providing them with a truly enjoyable experience.
