Spain is a country of contrasts. A historic European country with bustling cities, a beautiful country with snow capped mountains and little villages, Salsa dancing and tapas, and white sanded beaches that go on forever!
San Sebastian is in the north of Spain, on the Atlantic coast (the best location for surf!), is near to the Pyrenees for skiing and side trips to France. It is in the Basque area of Spain, where the people are furiously patriotic.
San Sebastian is an unusually sophisticated city wrapped around one of the best urban beaches in the world, La Concha (the shell)! San Sebastian is indeed a beautiful city. It is famous for its beaches, its beach breaks, and for its cuisine! Every corner of Spain champions its culinary identity, but San Sebastian is in a league of its own. The
Find out why San Sebastian is the perfect city for you. We are proud to tell you of a city unparalleled for immersing yourself in Spanish, culture, fun and festivity.
Few cities can offer so many alternatives in one single area: marvellous scenery, beaches, mountains, folklore, remarkable customs and traditions, important musical and cinematic events – Jazz Festival, Film Festival, Music Fortnight – as well as countless parties, ‘Semana Grande’, Carnival, ‘Caldereros’ (Tinker’s festival), San Sebastian's Day…as well as it offers you internationally recognized cuisine.
Surfing in Spain & San Sebastian!
Spain is a centre for surfing in mainland Europe. Surfers from all around the world test the waves, especially in the Pais Vasco area where San Sebastian lies. There are three main beach breaks at San Sebastian. Playa La Conche is the famous city beach that San Sebastian surrounds. Its is a great surf spot for beginners. It's a right hand beach break that is ideal in a southerly with a north west swell. You are right in the middle of the city ... only a few minutes from the school. Playa Ondaratte is a left hand beach break, with nice waves for beginners to learn on. Playa La Gross is a regional classic not to miss. Its also a beach break, but from various directions. A great surf spot for beginners and intermediate surfers! It has a great longboard wave, totally unpredictable day to day conditions. Extreme swell can come late September early October when sea is still warm. A nice chillout surfing spot. 20 minutes away are three more beach breaks at Zaraurz and ... Less than an hour away is the famous point break of Mandaka. It is a world class spot, and considered (when its on) the best surfing spot in Europe .. but that's another story!
