Spring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With cool, mild temperatures and less tourism than summer, spring is one of the best times to visit San Sebastian. Total rainfall during the spring is less than in the winter, but February through April tend to have more rainy days, on average, than any other time of year. However, sunny days are also plentiful and while it may not be warm enough to swim, it’s still pleasant enough to enjoy a walk on the beach. As a bonus for foodies: spring is prime season for txakoli <\/em>and cider! Here’s what to pack for San Sebastian in spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

• Light jacket<\/strong>: Make sure it’s waterproof so you won’t get soaked on rainy days! You don’t need a huge, heavy coat when visiting San Sebastian in spring, but a lighter leather or denim jacket will keep you warm and stylish.<\/li>
• Good walking shoes<\/strong>: Spring is one of the best times of year to explore San Sebastian’s gorgeous landscape! A pair of comfortable shoes or boots for hiking is a must.<\/li>
• Maxi skirt or dress<\/strong>: These are excellent options for women who don’t want to sacrifice style for comfort while exploring the city. You’ll fit right in with San Sebastian’s chic, polished aesthetic!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
