San Sebastián packs an extraordinary range of experiences into a small city. The Playa de la Concha is one of the finest urban beaches in Europe; Monte Urgull with its castle and giant Christ offers the classic panorama over the bay; and the San Telmo Museum is the best place to understand Basque culture. But the real reason most people come is the food — see the Eating Out and Bars and Cafes sections for the pintxo bars and Michelin-starred restaurants that make this the food capital of Europe.
