Experience the Paris - in Spain!

Wouldn’t it be great to drink a mojito just in front of the beach or to party with some famous actors? I’m sure now you can’t restrain yourself, this last fact was too tempting. San Sebastián (called “Donosti” in the Euskarian language) is located in the north of Spain in the autonomous community of País Vasco. Its main economic activities are trade and tourism, including attractions such as “La Concha” beach, an aquarium, “María Cristina” bridge, and the “Igueldo” mountain. San Sebastián also hosts many international events, such as the San Sebastián Film Festival, which has garnered attention to this beautiful city worldwide. The festival takes place every September and the city receives some of the most outstanding figures in cinema. But if you don’t like cinema at all, don’t worry - there are activities for all tastes. Would you enjoy a more natural experience such as the aquarium? Great! It is placed in an exceptional area of town, in the quay next to the maritime promenade. The aquarium owns a huge historical collection apart from a new enlargement of a corridor under a fish tank. And if you love stunning views, “Igueldo” mountain is the perfect place for you to go and enjoy the beauty of nature. How good is it to breathe fresh air? The best place is up on a hill that reaches 413 metres, from which you can see exceptional panoramic views of Concha Bay. And if you want to travel with your family to the mountain, there is a recreation area with several rollercoasters and children’s games, allowing the kids to play on their own, and give the adults some alone time. Wasn’t this enough to convince you to come to this beautiful region in Spain? Don’t allow people to tell you, prove it by your own!
