Experience European charm and immerse yourself in artistic ambiance.

Castilla-La Mancha The oldest neighborhood in San Sebastián is home to the Gothic-style San Vicente Church and the Renaissance-Baroque style Santa María del Coro Church. The San Telmo Museum, once a Dominican monastery, is now a must-visit for its archaeological, ethnographic, and artistic collections. Bustling streets lead visitors to the arcaded Constitution Square, where numbered balconies marked with white chalk reveal its past as a bullring. The square also features a neoclassical town hall, now converted into a municipal library. Alameda Avenue leads to this romantic city, built after the old city walls were demolished. Along the banks of the Urumea River, you'll find the Victoria Eugenia Theater and the neo-Plateresque María Cristina Hotel. Following this rationalist layout, you can also visit the picturesque Gipuzkoa Square, home to the Provincial Council building, the Koldo Mitxelena Cultural Center, and the Post Office. Additionally, there's the neo-Gothic San Sebastián Cathedral, known as the "Good Shepherd." The riverbanks are lined with grand residences from the early 20th century, guiding you to the María Cristina Bridge, the most magnificent bridge spanning the Urumea River. Four streetlights created by sculptor Mariano Benlliure illuminate the path to the train station. On this side of the river are the modern Egia and Gros neighborhoods. Gros Beach features the contemporary Kursaal building, designed by architect Rafael Moneo.

Alderdi-Eder Park

Spain's Atlantic Coast Pilgrimage ~ Guipúzcoa In San Sebastian, Alderdi Eder Park, meaning "beautiful place" in Basque, is a truly beautiful city center park located north of La Concha Beach. Alderdi Eder Gardens is known for its geometric shapes and the combination of flower beds and gardens. Palm trees and tamarisks fill the park with a vibrant pink. Both trees are known for their wind resistance, and being so close to La Concha Beach makes them a must-see. #SeptemberDestinations2025#VizcayaAttractions#SpainTravel
