city
Donostia-San Sebastian is blue surrounded by green. It is famous for its perfect shell-shaped bay that caresses three extensive beaches, crowned in the centre by an island with the only south-facing beach in the Basque Country.
Unique
Donostia.
Donostia, bakarra munduan (“Donostia, unique in the world”), lyrics of the San Sebastian March composed in 1861 and sung every 20th January for expectant Donostiarras (people from San Sebastian), expresses the best definition of this city. Just three words to describe its exceptional uniqueness.
This originality can be seen in its history and its way of life. A fishing port that was the cradle of pirates and a Belle Epoque style architecture inherited from its aristocratic past.
