Full description

You are Mari, the goddess of the Basque people. You descended from the peak of Mt. Urgull to walk the streets of San Sebastian, but your sons have been taken by the devil and hidden somewhere in the Old Town. You will not leave until every one of them is found.

This self-guided Basque mythology quest takes you on a walk through the historic heart of San Sebastian. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you follow Mari's search at 15 stops from City Hall through the Parte Vieja to Zurriola Bridge: uncover ancient myths carved into the squares and churches of the Old Town, decode the symbols of Basque legend hidden in the city's oldest stones, and piece together the story of a goddess determined to reclaim what the devil stole.

No guide, no fixed schedule. Best during the day. Explore San Sebastian's most iconic streets and seafront at your own pace.

Perfect for couples, families, and curious explorers. No prior knowledge of Basque culture or San Sebastian required.
