Beyond the concept of sun and sand all year the city offers: exhibitions, concerts, popular fiestas, sports and international events - Dance in May, Jazz in July and the Film Festival in September. A short distance away: surf in Biarritz, skiing in the Pyrenees, the Pilgrims Route to Santiago, the wine cellars of Rioja and the avant-garde Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. San Sebastián, and especially the Zurriola beach, is also very popular amoungst surfers from all over the world.

San Sebastián is a city that creates an impact through its beauty and its lifestyle. It offers extraordinary landscapes in the city centre itself: the contrast between the sea and the mountains that outline the Bay of the Concha.

It has its very own atmosphere, due to its architecture, its culture, the university and the lively streets of the old part that invite the individual to taste the exquisite Basque gastronomy and mingle with its people.
