San Sebastian - Donostia

Hello,

As promised before, now we will tell you about our visit to San Sebastian, as all the other Basque towns it has its own name in its original language, Basque or Euskera: Donosti.

And what a beautiful town! San Sebastian is on the northern coast of Spain, very close to the French border. Its main beach, la Concha, is very popular, and very beautiful. The beach is located between two hills forming a lovely bay. One hill (the Monte Igueldo) has an observation point, and the other hill has the old town at its feet. The rest of the town extend to the other side of the second hill where there's another bay with a second beach (Paseo de Zurriola).

In the old town one can buy one of the best tapas in Spain: the famous pintxos.

San Sebastian is a must of the Spanish/Basque landscape. More pictures can be found in our Picasa website.

Cheers,
