Ebike & Pintxos Tour with Go Local San Sebastián | Bike Tour | E-Bike

San Sebastián, known locally as Donostia, lies on Spain’s northern Basque coast where the Bay of Biscay caresses a crescent of sandy shorelines. This city’s distinct mix of coastal beauty and vibrant urban culture sets the stage for the Ebike & Pintxos tour offered by Go Local San Sebastián. The three-hour journey blends active discovery with culinary delight, cycling through the city’s diverse neighborhoods while tasting some of the best pintxos—small, artfully crafted bite-sized dishes—that define Basque gastronomy.

Riders follow electric bikes along varied terrain, from the soft sands of La Concha Beach and the serene Urumea River banks to the historic streets of the Antiguo and Gros quarters. Highlights include a leisurely ascent up Mount Igueldo, which rewards with panoramic views of the city’s iconic skyline, and stops at the Miramar Palace gardens and the Peine del Viento, a dramatic coastal sculpture forged from iron and rock.

What makes this tour stand out in a city celebrated for its food and landscape is the seamless integration of active exploration with cultural immersion. The electric bikes soften the physical demand, allowing visitors to savor their surroundings fully, and to freshen up with a pintxo and drink at two local taverns.
