| San Sebastian Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see La Concha beach La Concha beach eRIK San Sebastian (Donostia) is an important city in the Basque Region in the north of Spain. It lies in the shelter of the Monte lgueldo, Urgull and Ulía, and the river Urumea flows through the middle of it. San Sebastian is an important beach resort, but that's not all that there's to the city. The cosmopolitanism of the modern town with its large avenues and elegant tree-lined boulevards and picturesque old quarter are two important attractions. |

| Don't miss the fishing port where excellent typical restaurants compete for
business and serve excellent "Pintxos", the local Tapas. In the same quarter you find the city's two oldest churches - the Gothic Church of San Vicente and the Baroque Church of Santa María, as well as the 16th c Convent of San Telmo, converted into a museum and worthy of a visit to see its cloister and the paintings by the great Sert which decorated it. The beach of La Concha is worthy of mention, being a magical viewing point from the city out onto the Bay of Biscay, and if we add to this the Montes Urgull and lgueldo and the Island of Santa Clara, then the final result is a bay of outstanding beauty. The Cathedral del Buen Pastor, the Municipal Casino, the Auditorium and the Congress Palace are modern structures of important addition to the urban surroundings. ________Sights Edit This Test [Add Sight] Scott Edit This Used to be good, but hasn't aged well over the years.

It is often hailed as Europe’s finest after Cannes and Venice. The claim that its foundation of artistic merit, of valuing independent cinema and unique stories told in an exceptional way, from all over the world is not a new one. But it certainly seems to hold itself up to these standards. The films screened here are not mainstream and the content could oftentimes be difficult (and thus, worthwhile) to see. Lasting ten days, the festival usually consists of many events: several world premieres, short films from as yet unknown directors, and awards for performance, direction, cinematography, and screenplay, among others. Definitely an inspiring event for lovers of cinema. The Donostia Award, a lifetime achievement award, is presented each year to actors that have carved their own niche in film history; that did not toe the line with traditional Hollywood products. Past recipients of this award include Anjelica Huston, Willem Defoe, Ben Gazzarra, Annette Bening, and Jeff Bridges. Many of the festival's main events take place in the Kursaal Building, pictured above. www.sansebastianfestival.com |
