Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in San Sebastian - Donostia, Basque Country
While many visitors come for the beaches, arts celebrations and fiestas, San Sebastian-Donostia is serious about its food and drink. The Old Quarter’s narrow, winding streets are full of bars and restaurants, and in the modern city, sidewalk cafes are all around. The city specializes in seafood. Just make sure you know not to expect dinner at 6 or 7 p.m.—that’s much too early in Spain. Instead, tide yourself over with tapas, and enjoy eating and drinking late into the night.

A modern iron sculpture by Eduardo Chillida embedded in the rocks at the water's edge.

A romantic place where the waves of the sea, iron, stone, wind and sculpture originality come together. A nice walk by the sea.

Highly recommend this if visiting the San Sebastian area. It's a nice walk to the top with superb views across both sides of San Sebastian. Overall walk takes maybe an hour from top to bottom at a leisurely pace. Take some water if the weather is warm as it can be tough is some parts

Wander the old town and lose yourself amongst the narrow streets, with so many restaurants/bars to stop at for refreshment and so many sites to see and explore.
4. Miramar Palace

Reviewed By marylit2017 - San Sebastian - Donostia, Spain
The name of this place says it all 'Miramar' Palace, it certainly looks onto the sea, and what incredible view! It's the former summer residence of the Spanish queen Maria Cristina who spent her summers here for 40 years. It currently hosts the University Summer Courses and other special events. During the summer it opens at weekends for visits. In any case, it's worth just popping in for a stroll on the grounds and gardens to enjoy the magnificent views of the Concha bay.
5. Plaza de Guipuzkoa

This beautiful park, albeit it is called a Plaza, is bounded on all four sides by roads but once you are inside it you are oblivious to any traffic noise. This park has it all, lots of different types of trees and plants, a small waterfall, a pond with ducks and swans, a wooden bridge, some statues, a pavilion and a large multicoloured flower clock. Take a seat on one of the numerous benches and just enjoy the surrounds for a while. Even though the weather was inclement and it was cool we enjoyed our time here.

Big waves, you can make nice photos with them. Strong wind makes your head clear from all the thoughts during the walk.

The "Sacred Heart" statue dominates the skyline and keeps an eye on the city below, well worth the walk up Mount Urgull to see it in all its splendor.
