May in San Sebastián is 15 °C by day and 16.4 °C in the sea. Cold for swimming, the best month for the city: load 3 out of 5.
Spend May on the geography. The city sits on three beaches: La Concha in the horseshoe of the bay, Ondarreta beyond it under Monte Igueldo, and Zurriola across the river, where the waves and the surfers are. The old town and the business streets lie between them. The sea is 0.2 km from anywhere. Working out which of the three shores you want is easiest on foot, before the season.
