"San Sebastián is a resort town on the Bay of Biscay. It’s known for Playa de la Concha beach which is considered one of the most beautiful urban beaches in the world. The bay on which the beach sits is very protected by small islands at the mouth of the bay.
There is also a framed picturesque beachfront promenade that is lovely for a walk before or after visiting either a world-renowned restaurants or sampling the vibrant bar food scene where one eats Pintxo and drinks Txacoli a local white wine with abandon.
The city is divided by the Urumea River and has three ornate bridges that join both banks of the river.
The old town (Parte Vieja) is where you will find the best Pintxos and remember the best places are always the most traditional and worn-in spots. Don't let a modern decor fool you! "

"Never have I ever heard of someone who doesn't like San Sebastián. This city is a city which, kind of like Winston in New Girl, is, and I quote, “lovable as hell”.
Summer is just the perfect time to go to San Sebastián because the weather is perfect, not too hot, and not too cold either. People are super nice, it has great places to eat, from gastro-bars to 2€ tapas (or pintxos as they call them) and a great night-life.
If you have a car, I'm begging you, you need to go and discover the Basque countryside, you won't be disappointed."
