Overview

Spain is a diverse country with timeless rural towns, beaches with dunes covering them, and expansive city plazas that reflect its boisterous past. We'll whisk you away on this brief but charming mini-break to the lush plains of the Basque Country and the wonderful coastal city of San Sebastian.

After hosting a worldwide film festival, San Sebastian was chosen as the 2016 European Cultural Capital. Jazz festivals, classical music performances, and audio-visual events take place all year long in San Sebastian, drawing culture vultures and creative types like bees to honey. You'll quickly come to the realisation that there is always something going on during your stay.

And if wandering through museums or getting lost in the throng at a jazz festival aren't really your thing, San Sebastian's beaches provide plenty of opportunities for baking in the sun. At La Zorriola Beach, you can swim laps in serene seas only steps from magnificent buildings and soaring church steeples or venture out into the piercing blue in quest of the ideal swell.

While not surfing or lounging on La Concha's golden dunes, climb Mount Igueldo for stunning views of San Sebastian or pay a visit to the charming Miramar Palace. Around a corner, you'll see crowded fish restaurants where diners' plates are piled high with mouthwatering seafood delicacies and fresh fruit. The top-tier cuisine of the Basque country can be found in the "pintxos" tapas establishments. (There is a reason why many say that Spain's north is the country's culinary capital.)

The NH San Sebastian Donosti will serve as your base of operations while you see this magnificent city. This hotel, which received TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence in 2018, provides guests with unrivalled style and comfort as well as all the amenities they could possibly need for a brief stay in the centre of the Basque Country.
