The province of Guipuzcoa and fishing have always had a great historical and cultural relationship, the fishing villages of Guipuzcoa are places with a high cultural and traditional value in the Basque Country.
In the province of Guipuzcoa we can find many charming villages. Among these villages are those where the main economic activity is fishing. We will make a description of what we consider the 4 most charming fishing villages in Guipuzcoa .
San Sebastian-Donostia: We already know that we have promised charming fishing villages, but we could not leave behind the fishing tradition of Donostia. This beautiful city, home to more than two hundred thousand inhabitants, has a very varied economic activity, however, fishing remains one of the major economic and tourist attractions in the city.
San Sebastian has become a city of great importance in the Basque Country, fishing was the initial activity by which life was governed in this city, although today it is not so. We definitely recommend visiting this city, which is considered one of the most attractive cities for tourists throughout the Basque Country.
