San SebastianSan Sebastian, the current capital of Guipuzcoa, is a beautiful city in which we can enjoy a beautiful old town, taste very rich pinchos, have a choice of both the beach and the mountains but above all, a good selection of places to see in this region is what makes it stand out from the others.
What to see in San Sebastian?
What to see, what to do or what to visit are some of the questions tourists ask themselves when they choose a destination they want to discover. When we plan a trip, in addition to what we have to carry in our suitcase, we wonder what we can do there in the place where we are going. Below, we want to give you some indications of what you should not miss when you go to the city of San Sebastian:
The Paseo Nuevo: The Paseo Nuevo is the closest point you will be to the island of Santa Klara. This promenade is well known by all the tourists and above all, by the inhabitants that San Sebastian has and without a doubt, it is one of the things that you can not miss if you visit the city. The border it has with the Urgull mountain allows you to do all the tour that is within your reach. Ideal to enjoy as a couple!
El Peine del Viento: An important representation of the city, the Peine del Viento is another of the things to see in San Sebastian. At the end of the beach of Ondarreta, we find an impressive rock where the three famous sculptures of Eduardo Chillida are located. Located a few meters above sea level, when the waves crash and hit hard the wind pushes them against the sculptures. Undoubtedly, a must on your trip to the Basque Country.
Mount Urgull: Located just behind the bay of La Concha, Mount Urgull is one of the most impressive natural formations. From its summit we can see the whole city with a perspective of immensity. To go up we have to walk from the oldest part of Donostia that has different paths to reach the top of the mountain. This space is worth visiting at least once in a lifetime.
The Aquarium: The Aquarium of San Sebastian is one of the biggest attractions of the city especially, if we travel with small children. This aquarium is the oldest in Spain and also one of the most visited. It has undergone several renovations since its creation and each of them has led to further progress to what it is today, a great aquarium of success. In it, we can find many and varied species.
San Telmo Museum: If you are in the new promenade you can not miss the San Telmo Museum. In this building represents the life and history of the Basque society through an incredible permanent exhibition that we find inside. Reopened in 2011 with several renovations, it gained many tourists thanks to its renown. It has numerous temporary exhibitions that we can enjoy if we have the opportunity. Undoubtedly, another of the great things to see in San Sebastian.
As we have seen, San Sebastian has a good number of promenades, beaches, museums and monuments that are worth a visit. The whole city is impressive and will surely catch your attention as soon as you arrive.
