San Sebastián or Donostia, Basque Country, Spain

As if the world class cuisine weren’t reason enough to go to San Sebastian, the gorgeous setting of the Bahia de la Concha puts this destination in Northern Spain over the top. An easy climb on paved walking paths up Mount Urgull has views of stunning Concha Bay around every turn. We stayed for a week in the old town San Sebastian right at the foot of Mount Urgull in our 18 days in Northwest Spain. Right in the heart of the best pintxos bars in the world we were in pintxo heaven. Walks around the bay, up Mount Urgull, and over Mount Ulia helped work off the delicious food, at least a little bit.
