San Sebastian. This city, also known as Donostia, lies along a white sandy bay between the Urgull and Igeldo hills. Fishermen's houses, a smart suburb and modern districts make it one of the most attractive cities on the Cantabrian coast.
The Museum of San Telmo, the Peine de los Vientos (Comb of the Winds) and the Kursaal are examples of how the city brings together modern and traditional features. Meanwhile, the province of Guipuzcoa, of which San Sebastián is the capital, blends sea and mountains, offering the traveller landscape, sports and cuisine, as well as interesting monuments.
Basque cuisine has a recognised international prestige. |
Traditional Basque cuisine, together with modern and creative forms of cooking are on offer in San Sebastián in the form of "pintxos", "banderillas", tapas and "cashuelitas" (different kinds of small dishes) which, accompanied by cider, "txakoli" or good wines satisfy the most demanding palates. The unrivalled concentration of distinguished restaurants and a renovated market - “La Bretxa" - are signs of a city with a wonderful cuisine.
