Nice experience, a ride in the bay of San Sebastián with which to comfortably see the city and its attractions on the coast without having to walk too much. That's why I took my parents, who were happy.

Hello, my wife is in a wheelchair, the person in charge of the little train took great care of her. Thanks a lot
