From the Amara area, one can easily walk north to San Sebastián’s touristy areas, like Old Town and Gros. However, Amara is a “real” neighborhood where you can eat great pinxhos with the locals. The 2 of us had pinxhos and coffees (without alcohol) at many places, local and downtown, and never paid more than 25 USD. When my CPAP broke down, our host, Galder, went out of his way to stay home and wait for delivery of my replacement. No wonder he’s a super host! You can expect Galder to help you, any chance he gets.
