Donostia-San Sebastián, Coastal municipality in Basque Country, Spain

San Sebastián extends between the Cantabrian Sea and green hills, featuring three beaches: La Concha, Ondarreta, and Zurriola along its northern coastline.

The city received its charter in 1181 from King Sancho VI of Pamplona, establishing rights to govern the territory between the Oria and Bidasoa rivers.

The San Sebastián International Film Festival, held each September, stands among the longest-running film celebrations in Europe since its establishment.

The public transportation system connects all six districts of the city, with frequent bus services operating from early morning until midnight.

The Peine del Viento sculpture installation consists of three steel structures embedded in rocks at the western end of La Concha Bay.
