Staying in Hondarribia or San Sebastian?
 

I am going to Spain in June and will have a car...should I stay in Hondarribia or San Sebastian? Would like to pay ~50-60e a night for one person. I have stayed in agrotoursimos in Italy and b&b's outside of villages in France, so am looking at both inside/outside these towns. Anyone know a great place inside of Hondarribia to stay? Would parking be a problem if I stay in San Sebastian or Hondarribia? I love being outside of town, but being able to walk around town early in the morning or evening is nice, too. Thoughts?

www.toprual.com will have that type of lodgings you are looking for. great website.

oops. make that www.toprural.com

I love San Sebastian--stay there.

I would definately stay in San Sebastian vs Hondarribia for a first trip to this area. Parking in San Sebastian will be a challenge unless you want to pay about 15 euros a day in a public lot.

Thanks for the info!

San Sebastián is unbeatable. I've been very happy staying in quiet and charming Hotel Chomín, 50 metres from the Ondarreta beach and a 20 mins walk along the beautiful La Concha beach promenade to the city center and the bustling Parte vieja/Old town. Close to the charming and small town feel Antiguo district: http://www.pensionchomin.net/

Pensión Bellas Artes and Pension Alemana are two great options at the outskirts of the city center and in the right price range.
