Stamp Suggestions in San Sebastian

Norte from Irun - Santander + Primativo from Oviedo (May/June 2018)
Just finished a delightful first day on the Camino de Norte... Very foggy but cleared up for beautiful views of San Sebastian by the end.

I have a very "first day" question - where do I get a stamp if i'm staying at a non-camino hostel. I'm spending my night in San Sebastian in a pretty typical youth hostel and no one else seems to be a pilgrim. Do I need to go to the tourism office? Would some of the bars really have them? I'm a little disoriented because it's so clear that San Sebastian has a thriving tourism culture that has nothing to do with the Camino, it's making me shy about just going up to any old bar..
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
No need to be shy. Every place serving the public has a stamp of some kind. Show your Credential and just ask at the check-in desk where you are staying tonight or where you will be eating.

Good luck and Buen camino!

There is an albergue/hostel on the way out of town. We got a stamp there.
Wishing I was walking now!
Buen camino

They have one at the big church/Cathedral. As you are facing the alter walk towards it on right and there is a door that goes into office or if you are st the back go in door to left.
 
I agree with th first response there will be restaurants, bars hostels, hotels everywhere with stamps.
