Nearly all its area is built up, making it the municipality with the highest population density in Gipuzkoa province. The river Oria runs through the locality, with the locality of the same name to the south. Lasarte-Oria is a new town since it was founded in 1986.

We hope you will return soon and live up to your expectations. Greetings to your beautiful family Cordially The Villa Antilla Team Andrea Moro3/52 weeks ago on  Google We came for a short weekend interested in the Thalassotherapy package. The fact that the storm Ciaras prevented us from utilising the exterior facilities and made the hotel's surroundings less pleasant is probably what influenced my star rating. The rooms are superb, with a super king-size bed (you need a taxi to move from one side to the other ;) ), and all amenities needed for a perfect stay. The room was done as expected, but the hotel has no policy not to change towels left on the rack (a clear sign not to replace them). Some signs of wear and tear were visible in general (cracking on the sink, dump signs on the silicon' shower, rust on the shower head), but the overall condition of the room and the hotel in general is great. Coming to the thalassotherapy facilities, there is a set of pools with sea water in the basement. I was expecting the water to be a bit warm, but in fact, the temperature was not agreeable (imho), with windows open with the fresh wind coming in. The sauna was okay, but the steam bath was a bit less, especially considering it was a plastic cabin. There were meant to be other facilities that were apparently out of order.

#sansebastian #Basque San Sebastián is the destination with everything, stunning beach, amazing food, friendly locals, clean and fresh air and great for shopping. Close by to Bilbao, which is also fantastic. We stayed at the Mercure in San Sebastián and in Bilbao, the hotels were both fantastic. Having travelled a lot of Spain, the Basque region of Spain is worth a visit, very different from the south of Spain.

San Sebastián

As you may know, San Sebastián is on the northern part of Spain, which is renowned for cheese cake and a rich variety of pintxos. In particular, it is said that cheese cake comes from Basque area, so once I ate these cheese cake in the world’s first restaurant, I realised they were mild and creamy. It means they are the most delicious cake I’ve ever had. Also, this city is quite clean and safe compared to the south part of Spain:) If you like eating, you should go there!! One of my favourite bar is “Bar Sport”!!!(photo No.3) #San Sebastián
