The Belle Époque returns to San Sebastián

One more year horse racing returns to the San Sebastian Hippodrome. The summer season opens on July first with the most festive day: the Belle Époque day! Relive the roaring 20s at the racetrack, horse racing and glamour. The Belle Époque returns to San Sebastian! The perfect excuse to dress up. Before attending the event, we recommend that you visit some of the most historic and charming shops in the city.

If you are also going to spend a few days in the Bella Easo and want to soak up this wonderful time and the mark it left on the city, discover the most French-style architecture on this tour, a walk through the entire romantic area. And to put the icing on the cake, stay at the landmark hotel of the Belle Époque: Hotel María Cristina, where you can sleep like a queen or give yourself a small tribute at the Dry bar.
