Discover Pasaia, a seaside town in the north of mainland Spain, and discover the beauty of its old quarters.

When booking your holidays in Pasaia, you can enjoy the spectacular monuments the town is home to. Pasaia is a seaside town and port located in the province of Gipuzkoa, built around the estuary of the same name, and is divided into two neighbourhoods: Pasai Donibane and Pasai San Pedro.

In the historic old centre of Pasai Donibane, you’ll find such prestigious buildings erected as the basilica of Cristo de la Bonanza, an 18th-century Baroque building, or the castle of Santa Isabel, whose purpose was to protect the port. In addition, enjoy a stroll through its main street with four beautiful arches. You can’t leave without first visiting the tourist office, the house where Victor Hugo spent several days, or without checking out Plaza de Santiago, a square where you can enjoy the popular architecture of the houses there.

Take advantage of our cheap trips to Pasaia to also explore Pasai San Pedro, a neighbourhood with a beautiful pier. There you’ll discover such impressive places as Albaola, a shipyard that is dedicated to the conservation of traditional Basque boats, and the parish church of Pasai San Pedro, a Baroque-style building built in the 18th century.

Choose one of our package deals to Pasaia and come visit this beautiful town, which is close to the capital of the province. San Sebastian is located less than seven miles from here, and can be reached by train or car in less than 20 minutes.

Without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of this area is its delicious gastronomy, so you’ll definitely have to try some of their dishes before you leave. Start with some pintxos (Basque tapas) accompanied with a little cider, and follow up with any of their famous dishes of fish and seafood. You’ll love it!
