LA CONCHA
The beach of San Sebastian is popular and beautiful. Rather still waters (it's in a bay) that let you swimm and enjoy its white sand. The seaside walk is a rather pleasant place to feel the pulse of the city.

Pasaia - Donostia, walking

by zizu

Well, this is a suggestion for all people who love the trekking. You can go from Donostia to Pasaia or from Pasaia to Donostia, during 2 or 3 hours of a pleasant trek. The duration of the trek depends on the way that you choose. Basically, there are 3 routes: the red and white marks route, the yellow and white marks route, and the yellow-boots route.
I recommend you the last one: yellow boots route, because you walk close to the sea.
Only you have to do before choosing a route is follow the marks. Marks are painted on trees, on rocks....

Old City

Donostia has a small but charming ancient district (called "parte vieja"); along the narrow streets you will find several ancient buildings. The picture shows San Vicente's Church (16th century).

Donostia tiene un pequeño pero encantador barrio antiguo (llamado "parte vieja"); a lo largo de las estrechas calles se encuentran numerosos edificios antiguos. La foto muestra la Iglesia de San Vicente, del siglo XVI.

Paseo Nuevo

by mikey_e

The Paseo Nuevo is a winding road that skirts Monte Urgull and provides an incredible view of the sea and the bay, especially if you are walking it on a clear day. Sometimes, especially around the Aste Nagusia period, there are all sorts of carnival type stands put up along the Paseo, although some of them, I believe, are permanent fixtures. The Paseo Nuevo provides the same sort of area as the Malecón in Havana or other coastal Caribbean cities. I don’t know if it is technically a Malecón (sea wall), but it does occasionally get battered by stormy seas. You can also get a glimpse of some of the impromptu fishermen along the Paseo, some of whom have pretty good luck.

"My own point of view"

For a couple of reasons this is not my favorite city in the world. The main one is that I don´t feel safe here (and we come 3-4 times a year).
The political situation in this Autonomic Community is very independent from the rest of Spain, and there are a couple of very violent groups that will do anything to protest against Spain's government.
They usually kill politicians, and people who work for the government. Sometimes they put bombs in tourist areas outside of the Basque Country just to scare. The problem is that there have been several victims that just happened to be passing by and got killed or hurt.
In any case, that is just my point of view and many people do go there to vacation (including me), but I thought you should know I am not the most objective person in this subject and will only post some pics.
