San Sebastián jewelry artisan since 1935 in Parte Vieja—three-generation family shop handcrafting gold and silver pieces, pearls, chains, and restoration in-house.
Best for Handcrafted jewelry made in-store by a family since 1935
Casa Munoa opened in San Sebastián's Parte Vieja (old town) in 1935 and operates today as a three-generation family jewelry workshop. The current owner, Claudio Munoa, is a master jeweler with over 35 years of experience who designs all pieces created on-site. The business model centers on handcrafted production: customers purchase pieces that Casa Munoa manufactures in its own establishment—'vendemos las piezas que nosotros hemos fabricado en nuestro mismo establecimiento.' Beyond original designs, the shop offers selected pearls, gold chains, vintage jewelry, and full restoration and redesign services for existing pieces. The emphasis on in-house craftsmanship and local Basque production appeals to customers seeking transparency and quality over scale. Located in San Sebastián's historic center, Casa Munoa represents a survival of traditional Spanish jewelry practice in an era when most shops retail imported goods. The three generations of Munoa family stewardship—and Claudio's personal mastery—have sustained consistent standards across eight decades.

Kaxilda is an associative bookshop and cultural meeting space in the Amara-Easo district of Donostia/San Sebastián, organized around what its own materials describe as a mission to 'bite words, nourish thought' (morder las palabras, alimentar el pensamiento).
Best for Critical-culture books from small publishers, plus a meeting space
Kaxilda is an associative bookshop and cultural meeting space in the Amara-Easo district of Donostia/San Sebastián, organized around what its own materials describe as a mission to 'bite words, nourish thought' (morder las palabras, alimentar el pensamiento). Rather than a conventional retail bookstore, it operates as a community-run library and gathering space, curating a catalogue weighted toward small and independent publishers working in critical theory, feminist writing, anarchist history, and political critique, alongside titles on surveillance, class analysis, and indigenous resistance movements. The shop maintains its own in-house publishing imprint, Editorial Kaxilda, extending its role from bookseller to publisher of the same critical-culture material it stocks. Attached to the bookshop is Kantina, a restaurant and social space created and run in partnership with two local collectives, Fede Pacha & Co and Biba Ardoak, which the project describes as 'a space to nourish bodies, lives, and struggles' — folding food and hospitality into the same political-education mission as the books themselves. This combination of independent publishing, curated bookselling, and a collectively run social space distinguishes Kaxilda from a standard neighborhood bookshop: it functions as a hub for the city's small-press and activist reading culture as much as a place to buy books.
Concept store in Gros, San Sebastian, pairing a design/lifestyle shop (textiles, ceramics, furniture, vintage pieces) with a workshop and event space, inside a former pop-up-market building with an industrial interior.
Best for Local and European design plus a maker workshop space
LaCentral is a long-running concept store in the Gros district of San Sebastian (Donostia), at Calle Nueva 5, built around a 'shopping/workshop' format that combines retail with production and event space. The building previously served as a venue for pop-up markets, and LaCentral's current layout keeps much of that industrial character while dividing the interior into zones with distinct design personalities. Its retail offer spans home and lifestyle categories: textiles and fabrics, ceramics, furniture and vintage pieces, home fragrance, and art and decorative objects, alongside an outlet section for discounted stock. Beyond selling finished goods, LaCentral also functions as a working space for local and visiting designers, and rents out areas of the building for events and professional training sessions.
Basque clothing brand founded in San Sebastian's old town in 1995 by Victor Serna and Xabi Zirikiain, built around Zirikiain's daisy-shaped logo ('Loreak Mendian' means 'flowers on the mountain' in Basque); grew into a streetwear and outerwear label.
Best for Basque casualwear
Loreak Mendian was founded in 1995 in San Sebastian by Victor Serna, fresh out of a business administration degree, and Xabi Zirikiain, an industrial engineer who had already gained local notice for a daisy-shaped logo he'd designed. Their first store opened in 1995 in San Sebastian's old town, in the city's port area, and quickly became a gathering point for the local DJ and music scene. Over the following decades the brand's design team expanded and its output matured into more considered, contemporary streetwear and outerwear, while keeping its Basque roots and the daisy branding as throughlines.

Best for Designer clothing, jewelry, books, and beauty products at a concept shop
Noventa Grados is a concept store in San Sebastian's old town, opened in August 2005 on Calle Mayor.

Two decades on, the business runs two adjoining spaces in the Parte Vieja district: the original at Calle Mayor 3 and a second location at Calle Loiola 3.
