Monday: San Sebastian Panoramic Sightseeing along the world famous bay of La Concha will lead us to Mount Igueldo, where we will take a cable-car that will take us up to the top of the hill. Once there, we will be able to enjoy a wonderful and unique view of the whole city and its surroundings from the Amusement Park located at the top. After, we will go down to the "Wind Combs", Eduardo Chillidas well-known sculpture that plays with the waves in a curious effect that takes place at high tide. Once the excursion is finished we will take the bus to come back to the centre of the city.
Tuesday: Aquarium + Mount Urgull At the Aquarium we will enjoy a 2 hour guided tour to learn about exotic and local fish including species from the deep ocean. We will be introduced to their habitats and we will take the special opportunity to watch the marvellous sharks in the transparent tube that will allow us to nearly touch their frightening jaws! After the visit, if time allows, we will walk to the top of Mount Urgull to visit its 18th century castle. An unforgettable experience, no doubt about it.
Wednesday: Science Museum The Museum of Science offers more than 160 interactive experiments specially designed to explain the secrets of Science to both younger and older visitors. 160 "games" that the students will love to explore are based on subjects such as the Foucault Pendulum, the way a volcano works, Darwin principles, the first engine and more. As an option, there is a Planetarium that we can visit and learn about, from a scientific point of view, the mysterious outer space and the stars that make up our sky.
Thursday: Fishing village of Fuenterrabia We will visit Fuenterrabia, a typical fishermen village located 15 minutes by car from San Sebastian, near the French border. We will walk along its narrow old streets and imagine what life was like in the days of old. Then, we will take a boat across the river to the sport harbour of Hendaya, the first village in France just over the border.
Friday: San Telmo Museum & Chocolate with Churros A typical afternoon in San Sebastian. We will visit the San Telmo Museum where we will get to know the Basque culture and its townships. The museum is in a picturesque building situated right in the middle of the Old Quarter at the foot of Monte Urgull. After, we will snack on the traditional chocolate with churros, a treat for that sweet tooth in all of us. |
