Old Town Streets of San Sebastián
Highlight • Settlement
Located at the foot of Mount Urgull, sandwiched between the port and the mouth of the Urumea river, it was built after a great fire in 1813. Its streets, full of shops and stores, restaurants, bars and cafes for pintxos (small snacks) and what are known as gastronomic societies (groups of friends who usually drink or eat something together, perhaps comparable to our regulars' table), are usually very busy, no matter what time of year.
In this district are also the two most important places of worship in the city, the Basilica of Santa María del Coro and the Church of San Vicente. You can also visit the Museum of San Telmo, housed in an old monastery, and the Plaza de Constitución square. The same area is also where most of the city's festivities and events take place. The colorful facades with painted numbers on each balcony remind us that it was once a bullfighting arena.
The streets of the old town were once surrounded by a city wall, but only until modern times.
The San Sebastián Tourist Information Office organizes all kinds of guided tours.

Constitution Square
Highlight • Historical Site
Today, however, the square is still the center for many events and celebrations. Every year, from the balcony of the former town hall, the municipal flag is hoisted to officially open the festival of San Sebastián. It also hosts many important cultural performances and activities of the city.

The much-praised promenade behind it is a stone track without trees and charm. It slowly gets prettier towards the old town.
The highlight for me are the Pintxos Bars. The Basque version of tapas, but usually a bit more elaborate and creative. The name comes from the …

We just can't drive past it.
And the magnificent sculptures Peine del Viento by Eduardo Chillida must also be seen every time we are there. They belong just as much as the Pintxos in the old town.
