One of the best places to visit from San Sebastian on a day trip is of course St Jean de Luz (France). St Jean is also in the french side of the basque country so you do not feel crossing the border between France and Spain.
There are many things to do in St Jean. You can just grab a sandwich in a french cafe or take a look to the paintings in the square next to the fishermen port. The port is a nice place to start from before going shopping in the pedestrian Rue Gambetta street.
Rue Gambetta is well known for basque artisan clothing, towels and tablecloths. You could also buy basque style sandals at Pare Gabia famous shop and enjoy tasting french foie, cheeses and all type of chocolates.
There are a few patisseries where you can grab a cupcake or a delicious basque gateaux with a coffee or tea. Crepes and waffles are also sold along the way and you can take delicious ice creams in summer.
If you got a car try to visit the Urtubie Castle nearby and also the Fort Sokoa.
