Take a citytrip to San Sebastián

San Sebastián, the hidden gem of the green north. An elegant seaside resort on what is said to be Europe’s most beautiful beach bay.

The Basques call their seaside city ‘Donostia’ (pronounced ‘Donosti’), and to them it is the best place on earth. Since San Sebastián became the European Capital of Culture in 2016, more and more travellers have been discovering the city. Bilbao has the Guggenheim, San Sebastián has the vibrant food culture in the pintxos bars of the Casco Viejo and other neighbourhoods, and the most beautiful urban beach bays, surrounded by green mountains, such as La Concha. The culinary offering is overwhelming, and the cultural offering continues to grow. San Sebastián truly relaxes and de-stresses you with its healthy sea air and the aroma of delicious food!
