How Flower Delivery Works in Aiete
Aiete is the hill south of San Sebastián's centre and the city's greenest, quietest district: the Aiete Palace, where Queen María Cristina and later Franco spent their summers and which now houses the House of Peace and Human Rights; a park with ponds and century-old trees; villas, townhouses and schools along Goiko Galtzara Berri and Avenida de Aiete. Over the ridge lies Miramón with its technology park and hospitals. The courier climbs via Avenida de Tolosa or through Amara — 10–15 minutes from the centre; delivery takes 2–3 hours from photo approval, orders before 15:00 are delivered the same day. The streets are open and parking is available, but the houses sit behind fences — the recipient's phone number is essential.
Villas, Townhouses and Residences
Aiete is where families with children and Miramón's doctors live: detached villas with gardens, townhouses in gated developments (Aiete Berri, Villa Yeyette, Lorea Bidea) and new residences with porteros around Errotaburu. Give us the house name or number, the street, surname and phone — the courier calls 15–20 minutes ahead and hands over at the gate or in the lobby; we never leave the bouquet at the gate. If the family is at work or school we agree an evening slot.
Hotel Palacio de Aiete and Other Hotels
Hotel Palacio de Aiete is a four-star hotel by the park with a terrace and city views, popular with Kursaal congress guests and patients' families: bouquet to reception under the guest's name, to the room for check-in by arrival date. Down in Amara — Hotel Silken Amara Plaza by the station and Hotel Astoria7 with its cinema-themed rooms; to the east, in Ategorrieta — Hotel Villa Soro, a 19th-century villa in a garden. All are within the standard delivery zone.
The Miramón Hospitals: Flowers for Patients and Doctors
Miramón and Zorroaga hold Gipuzkoa's largest medical campus: Hospital Universitario Donostia (Aránzazu, Amara, Gipuzkoa and maternity buildings), Policlínica Gipuzkoa and the Onkologikoa cancer centre. Flowers are often restricted in the rooms, especially in oncology and intensive care, so the courier hands the bouquet to relatives in the lobby or to the ward reception with your consent — give us the building, ward, patient's name and a relative's phone. The most common orders here are a new baby at the Donostia maternity unit, a thank-you to a doctor or nursing station, and a discharge. For Onkologikoa we check the rules in advance.
Schools, the Park and the House of Peace
The German School (Deutsche Schule San Sebastián), Colegio Aldapeta and Ikastola Aitor — bouquets for teachers at year-end and graduation are handed to the school reception at an agreed hour. Aiete Park with its ponds and paths hosts family birthdays on the grass and photo shoots by the palace; the House of Peace and Casa de Cultura Aiete — conferences and concerts, with flowers for speakers passed on via the organisers. For a table at Rekondo (the Igueldo road) or Arzak (Alto de Miracruz) — 10–15 minutes from Aiete — the manager at the reservation time.
