Gros Arena Apartment in San Sebastian

Description from the manager

spain > basque country > san sebastian

The vacation apartment Gros Arena enjoys a fabulous location, just a step away from the San Sebastian's Old Quarter and next to the Zurriola Beach, in the Gros neighbourhood.

This is a quiet holiday accommodation totally refurbished in 2012. It faces a peaceful large building courtyard.

These are the three most noteworthy features of the Gros Arena; the tranquility, the amazing location by the beach and the Old Town, and the fact that it has been recently refurbished.

The holiday accommodation is located on the second floor of a building with a lift.

On entering the ap...artment, we access directly the open plan lounge-dining room. To the one side, there is a modern fully equipped kitchenette and next to it, the lounge-dining area. In the lounge, there is a flat screen TV and a comfortable sofa bed. From here we gain access to a small balcony.

There is a double bedroom with a queen size bed and large wardrobes. Next to the bedroom we find the bathroom equipped with a shower cubicle.

This holiday accommodation offers free WI-FI Internet access.

The neighbourhood is full of shops, bars, restaurants and grocery stores.

As it can be seen in the map, just by crossing the Kursaal Bridge we reach the Old Town where all types of businesses, bars and restaurants are found. Even La Bretxa market, one of the most genuine markets in the city, is located in this area.

Zone description

The Urumea River separates Gros from the Old Town and from the City Centre by two different bridges, giving it an obvious closeness to them. It borders on the Bay of Biscay at North, on the Ulia Mountain at East and on the Urumea River and the Kursaal Convention Centre at West.

La Zurriola Beach, the newest of them all in San Sebastian, is located in this neighbourhood. It is very popular among surf lovers and professional surfers and it is also just a five minute stroll away from La Concha Beach.

At the end of the promenade along La Zurriola, at the side of the Ulia Mountain, there is an area of houses, pintxo bars and pubs called Sagües. It is a favourite spot among young people. There is also a great esplanade and leisure activity area here.

There are lots of shops all around Gros and in the last few years, it has become a very popular area for those in search of good quality pintxo bars and pubs. However, if what you are looking for is to follow a complete route of typical pintxos, it is a must to finish in the Old Town, just a 7 minute stroll from Gros.

There are some wonderful walks to be enjoyed from Gros to other parts of the city. For instance, starting at Sagües and walking all along La Zurriola promenade until you reach the Paseo Nuevo, a magic place when the Cantabrian Sea is rough. From here you can go up the Urgull Mountain, a mere 15-20 minute climb, then come down to the harbour and from there back again to the Old Town and Gros. A trully enjoyable all around walk.

The Gros neighbourhood has several supermarkets and other grocery shops for those of you who prefer to enjoy a more intimate dinner at the apartment.

If you are visiting the city by car, you should know there are three large public car parks in the area: Plaza de Cataluña, Kursaal and Txofre.

Thanks to a modern and wide network of public transport, the Antiguo is very well connected to the other city neighbourhoods. For more information on public transport you can visit the official webpage: www.dbus.es/english

  Good location

  Location of apartment was great. It was clean and could fit three females easily. Overpriced though and would be better if more than one key was provided.
