San Sebastian is a city of contradictions. Sophisticated yet laid back, grand yet intimate, upscale yet unpretentious, traditional yet innovative. San Sebastian is also one of those rare cities blessed with both natural and man made beauty, creating a stunning synergy. While the beach beckons, the true star of the show is the food.
Around Town:
The promenade along La Concha (shell) beach is charming. There is something about a beach plopped down in the center of a city that brings with it a unique energy. Notice the statue (of Jesus) on the hilltop. We hiked toward this statue, but never quite saw Jesus (walking uphill is hard!) although we did see some magnificent views of the city and ocean.
