- A square that was once a bullring

- The old town's quieter morning side
- Where the old town meets the harbour
- Parte Vieja, before the evening crowd
About this tour
This session walks Parte Vieja by day, from its quieter morning alleys to Constitution Square and the harbour edge beyond it. You see numbered balconies left over from the square's old use as a bullring and the point where the old town meets the working harbour. Xabier shows a version of the old town most visitors only see after dark.
The walk moves from the narrow alleys out to the open square and finally to the harbour, with Xabier pointing out details on building facades that are easy to miss in the evening crowd. He answers questions about the old town's daytime rhythms as they come up.
This suits anyone who has already seen Parte Vieja at night and wants the calmer daytime version. It also works well as a first orientation before exploring further alone.
Included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 6 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of San Sebastian before heading out.
-
Morning market alleys 17 min
The camera moves through the old town's narrower alleys in the morning, quieter than in the evening, with a few stalls setting up for the day.
-
Constitution square 17 min
The old town's main square once served as a bullring, and I point out the numbered balconies still visible on the surrounding buildings from that use.
-
Harbourside edge 17 min
The walk finishes where the old town meets the harbour, and I explain how fishing and the old town have always sat right beside each other here.
-
Your questions 11 min
Time to ask anything about San Sebastian: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 5 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Idiazábal cheese and Parte Vieja, worth a slower look.
