Service Projects Guide to Biarritz & San Sebastian

Service Guide to Basque

At Service Projects, we love the thrill of discovering new cities around the world. Whether it's the eclectic energy of Tokyo or the historic charm of Paris, we relish the opportunity to immerse ourselves in different cultures and explore their unique offerings. From local cuisine to hidden gems, we believe that every city has something special to offer. While many metropolitan cities may have countless places to explore, we firmly believe that a few carefully selected recommendations can make all the difference to the intrepid traveler. That's why we've created this guide - to share our curated selection of coffee spots, restaurants, hotels and unique offerings from each city to share with you.

If you're seeking the perfect blend of Southern French and Spanish Basque cultures, look no further than Biarritz and San Sebastian. These neighboring cities offer stunning beaches, great restaurants, and a laid-back atmosphere. The proximity of these destinations makes it easy to explore both in one trip.

Don't miss the opportunity to go for a run along the scenic Cote De Basques. It's a run you won't forget

San Sebastian:

In San Sebastian's old town, explore the winding streets with an appetite, stopping at as many pintxo places as you can handle. Here are a few renowned options to start:
