Beach of La Concha

San Sebastián Travel Guide Resources & Trip Planning Info by Rick Steves

"Shimmering against golden beaches and capped by twin peaks at either end, I found Concha Bay to include a cute little island at its center and a delightful beachfront promenade that runs its length; a charismatic old town anchors one end while a smart shopping district lies in the middle. The romantic setting, with a soaring statue of Christ gazing over the city, gives the bay a mini Rio de Janeiro aura. Although there's not much formal sightseeing, the scenic bay itself provides a pleasant introduction to Spain's Basque Country, and as a culinary capital its local restaurants fiercely compete to serve some of the best tapas anywhere." - RICKSTEVES
