San Sebastian holidays

What San Sebastian lacks in size, it more than makes up for with its packed calendar of festivals, culinary fairs and cultural celebrations. Visit in September for glimpses of Hollywood stars at the International Film Festival, or in August for the Semana Grande, a week of streets parties and music. While these events exude excitement and glamour, the city’s architecture is the real star of the show, ranging from ornate art nouveau buildings to grand balconied facades in the Parte Vieja (Old Town), and the postcard-perfect city beach of Playa de la Concha, only a stone’s throw away. Food also plays a shining role here and our local Concierge will be on hand to recommend the best spots. San Sebastian’s innovative restaurants and authentic Pintxos (Basque tapas) bars are bound to tempt any avid foodie and makes the city well-deserving of its title as the gastronomic capital of Spain.
