Ocean view and to die for seafood
by beaverk about Akelare - Pedro Aubijana
This fantastic modern spanish cuisine destination locale is located on top of a small hill top overlooking the Altantic ocean. The restaurant features subtle yet distinguished nautical themed d?cor. The food is just fantastic! Everything we tried was fabulous. The sea bass, the grouper, the lobster?it goes on? This is a must visit restaurant if you visit San Sebestian

La Concha
by mikey_e
La Concha is probably the number one reason why people visit Donostia – not that they will put it that way. Rather, they will probably simply describe everything that is related to this splendid natural phenomenon: the beautiful beach; the great surfing; the Belle Epoque promenades; the incredibly vibrant colours of sea, sky and plants; and the perfect opportunities for pictures. La Concha is a fairly sheltered bay off of the Cantabrian Sea where the waves are partially broken by the Santa Klara Uhartea (Isla Santa Clara), a green pearl near the mouth of the bay. La Concha is the name of both the beach and the bay – the beach, obviously, is used purely for leisure purposes, with the eastern part of the bay has been spliced off to provide for a marina and a port. The tide here can be quite high, as witnessed by the drastic changes in the size of the beach. I’m not one for swimming on crowded beaches (actually, I prefer pools where you can do laps), so I don’t know what the water is like. However, judging from the crowds of tourists, I’m willing to bet it was quite refreshing and enjoyable at the beginning of August.
San Sebastian
by Docu2001
I sort of named my son after it … although at the time I visited San Sebastian the prospect of a son was nonexistent. I was invited to San Sebastian by the film festival that is held there each year. It is a wonderful festival – the Spanish film industry, thanks to Pedro Almodovar, is vibrant. Almodovar was in town and it was great fun seeing him and all the otherworldly beautiful Spanish women he travels with when he opens a film. The local TV crews caught me there at some point and one of them started taping me, then another guy picked up his camera and pretty soon I was posing for a small cluster of cameras and the woman who had invited me to the festival moved in very close to me and whispering said just to smile and go along with it – any publicity is good publicity in the movie business.
