San Sebastián (Donostia) — an elegant Basque coastal city wrapped around the shell-shaped La Concha Bay, renowned for having more Michelin stars per capita than almost anywhere on Earth and for its Old Town pintxos bars.

The heart of Basque pintxos culture — dozens of bars serving elaborate small bites along narrow lanes.

The city's famous crescent-shaped bay, ringed by a golden beach and a grand seafront promenade.

Hilltop viewpoint reached by a vintage funicular, with sweeping views over the bay and coastline.


Eduardo Chillida's iconic iron sculptures set into the rocks where the bay meets the Cantabrian Sea.
