Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z San Sebastián do Pasaia

Set off from the lively city of Donostia / San Sebastián, famous for its stunning beaches, pintxo bars, and that gorgeous crescent-shaped bay. Your route to Pasaia is just under 9 km—perfect for a relaxed ride and easily manageable in well under an hour.

You’ll pedal mostly on smooth asphalt cycleways hugging the coast, with a gentle total ascent of around 82 meters—just enough to give you nice sea views without working up a sweat. The scenery is classic Basque Country: dramatic hills on one side, the sparkling Bay of Biscay on the other. Keep an eye out for Camino de Santiago pilgrims; part of your ride overlaps with the legendary northern route.

Your destination, Pasaia, is a picturesque harbor town tucked between steep green hills. It’s smaller and quieter than San Sebastián, but has its own charm and history—Victor Hugo himself once stayed here and wrote about the village. Grab a coffee on the picturesque waterfront before you head back or catch a tiny ferry across the inlet.

It’s an easy, scenic ride that packs in a lot of local flavor—perfect for a lazy morning or sunny afternoon.
