About San Sebastian
San Sebastian (Donostia) is the capital of Gipuzkoa on Spain's Basque coast, known for the shell-shaped La Concha bay, Belle Epoque promenades, and a dense old-town pintxos scene that draws food travelers year-round. Monte Urgull and Monte Igueldo frame the waterfront; Santa Clara Island sits in the bay.
Cruise lines market the destination as San Sebastian while ships use the commercial harbour at nearby Pasaia (Pasajes), about 5 km east, so shore time typically pairs the fishing villages of Pasaia with a short transfer into the city beaches and Parte Vieja. Windstar lists an upcoming Star Explorer call as San Sebastian / Pasaia.
