    Santa Maria Church was built in th middle of the 18th century. The layout of the church is a rectangular ground plan with a semicircural roof and the apse embeded in the sacristry. Outside, as a reminder of Donostia's military past, you can see traces of fortress. This is the church YOU MUST SEE!

    The traditional rowing regatta is held on the first two Sundays in September. Crowds of nearly 100,000, many of them wearing the colours of their favourite trainera, cover the hillsides overlooking the bay . Anyway ... if you are really interested in watching the contest and the result. It's on television in all the bars of San-Sebastian. If you go for the atmosphere ... go into the mountains together with the people. After the race everybody goes back to the center and has a party ...

    Beautiful bridge over Urumea Ibaia. The fantastic pillars are on the both side of the bridge. When you pass it on the left bank of the River, first you'll see Fountain on Plaza del Bilbao, and continuing through Alfonso III Street, you'll reach Buen Pastor Cathedral.

    Urgull and Santa Clara
    by Maillekeukeul
    Taken in the middle of Mount Igeldo and Mount Urgull, there is some kind of a dot, coming out of the water, that prevents you from enjoying a broad view over the ocean. This dot is Santa Clara Island. I haven't visited it, still, it adds a lot of charm to the whole landscape that San Sebastian offers...

    mount
    by Maillekeukeul
    When watching the ocean from Concha Beach, you'll see a mount on your right : it's this one, called Urgull. At the top of it, after a nice walk all along the "Paseo Nuevo", you reach a statue of Jesus, a former defensive position (plenty of canons) and the nice garden of the "Castillo de la Mota" (Castle of the mount).

    Another beautiful bridge is María Cristina, which has prettified towers at each end (the bridge, not María Cristina!!!)

    Otro hermoso puente es el puente María Cristina, que tiene unas torres de piedra a cada extremo (del puente, no de María Cristina!!!)

    At Alderdi-Eder Park, by the sea side, there are these magnificent street lamps, among those odd trees that look like sculptures... Just a beautiful place, between the blue sky and the emerald waters of Cantabrian Sea.

    En el parque Alderdi-Eder, junto a la playa, se encuentran estas magníficas lámparas, entre esos extraños árboles que semejan esculturas... Un lugar muy bello, entre el azul del cielo y las aguas de esmeralda del Cantábrico.

    "Wind comb" is the name of some iron sculptures made by Eduardo Chillida; these magnificent masterpieces are situated where Mount Igueldo meets the Cantabrian Sea.

    "Peines de viento" es el nombre de varias esculturas de hierro hechas por Eduardo Chillida; estas magníficas obras de arte están ubicadas en donde el Monte Igueldo se une con el Mar Cantábrico.

    After all, if there is a beach, why not laying on it ? I had decided to enjoy some sun in San Sebastian, and, believe me, that was a hell of a bet, as, in the Basque Country, you may never know what the weather will be like the day after !!! But, I've eventually been lucky...
