Weekend in San Sebastian

San Sebastian is a beautiful city located on the coast of the Bay of Biscay, in the Basque region of Spain. It used to be Spain’s royalty favourite summer destination. Now, it's still one of the most famous spots of Spain with belle époque architecture, vibrant culture and great beaches.

We explored the popular area of old town in San Sebastian, located at the bottom of Mount Urgull walking on the beautiful streets and gazing all around us.

We mingled with locals in Mercado La Bretxa. It's an old iconic market dating back to 1870 with food stalls offering local products. We tried the famous Idiazabal cheese.

We passed by Victoria Eugenia Theater, the venue that hosts the annual San Sebastian film festival.

We had a coffee at this beautiful place by the river.

We crossed the beautiful Maria Cristina Bridge over Urumea River and enjoyed the nice views over the city from there.

We arrived in Constitution Square, a historc square that used to serve as a bullring

We spent the last part of the day on the Beach of Concha, the large beautiful sandy beach in the shape of a shell, where we enjoyed a gorgeous sunset.

We spent the night in the old town of San Sebastian.

We started the second day with a trip to Mount Urgull, the tree covered mountain near the old town of the city. From the top of the mountain we had the best views of the city and the sea.

We came down of the mountain and arrived in the beautiful Bay of La Concha. We had a stroll along the promenade and enjoy the views of the cityscape.

We continued our walk until the western tip of the bay. This is the place where the famous sculptures of Basque artists Eduardo Chillida "El Peine del Viento" are located.

On the way back we stopped to eat at this lovely terrace by the sea.
