EMT's Tailor-made Guide to San Sebastián
San Sebastián owes much of its fame to the fact that it has more Michelin starred restaurants per capita than anywhere in the world. And while its excellent gastronomy keeps food-lovers coming to town, it’s the dramatic, rugged coastline, surf culture and unspoiled scenery that makes people want to return. Here are the special spots around town, the ones we keep returning to and can't wait to tell our friends about.
: Helpful information
• San Sebastian = Spanish form, Donostia = Basque form
•Not all of Spain is sangria and paella. Each province has its own culinary specialties and you will not find flamenco or tapas here. The Basque Country has its own unique charm. Embrace it.
•The landscape here is a vibrant green. This is due to the fact that there is much rainfall. Check the weather, come prepared, but do not let rain deter you - there are places perfectly suited for such weather.
