Learn Spanish in San Sebastián
San Sebastián
Grand and glamorous, San Sebastián has been wowing visitors since the time of Napoleon.
San Sebastián defines elegance. Townhouses and cafes are perched on expansive beaches. The compact old town turns a lovely gold colour in the evening light. A long sweeping promenade provides Instagramable sunset views. Broad city streets are covered with shops, cafes and pintxos bars. Everywhere looks like a postcard, without a single stone out of place.
This is a city that is both beach break and city chic rolled into one. You can’t not relax here. You can’t not have fun. It’s one of those places where you come for two weeks and want to stay for four. Or you stay for four weeks and want to live in San Sebastian forever.
There are three distinct areas you’re likely to spend your time. The famous shell-shaped beach is surrounded by shopping streets and pintxos bars (Basques tapas). The old town is compact, packed with little bars and restaurants to try. Zurriola beach has a modern atmosphere, with surfers on the waves and lively local streets.
