Sure, there\u2019s the iconic La Concha beach, Monte Urgull and its funicular, and the cool Tabakalera (a tobacco-factory turned-arts-center). Added to that, of course, are the cider houses and the legion of pintxos bars. But after you\u2019ve done all that it means you should take the opportunity to see a bit more of the surrounding area.

Short trips like Orio or Hondarribia typically cost just a few euros, while longer trips to Bilbao, Pamplona, or Logro\u00f1o may cost \u20ac10\u2013\u20ac15 or more.
