13San Sebastian, Spain
The romantic city of San Sebastian is situated in the unique Basque Autonomous Community in Spain. Also known as Donostia, this municipality and coastal city can be found on the beautiful Bay of Biscay which is only 20 kilometers from the border of France. It’s a lovely lesser-known seaside resort.
Among those in the know, it is popular for a number of reasons including the Basque country tapas known as “pintxos.” When it comes to food, veteran visitors often recommend the sidrerias or cider halls where you can dine on such dishes as fish, steak, salt cod omelettes and even top it off with tasty sweet biscuits and a popular walnut and cheese dessert. Memorable activities, events, and attractions include San Sebastián’s Jazz Festival (Jazzaldia), the San Sebastián International Film Festival, the Victoria Eugenia Theatre, the San Telmo Museoa, Basque Week and, of course, San Sebastián Day.
