San Sebastian, located on the glittering coast of Spain’s Basque Country, is paradise for pleasure seekers of all persuasions. Unwind on Playa de la Concho, an expansive stretch of golden sand considered one of Europe’s finest city beaches. If you need a break from the heat, seek refuge in chic designer boutiques of La Parte Vieja.

For food and drink lovers, San Sebastian is simply heaven. Nothing beats crawling between friendly local bars, sampling heavenly Basque country tapas as you go. Feast on succulent fried shrimp and spicy chorizo sausage, and sample ice cold, locally produced white and rosé wines.
