Spain
Silver sand and turquoise sea right in the heart of the city centre.
This beach is a fantastic place to visit for breakfast, get a comfy spot in the sand and watch the city wake up. Spain's health conscious office workers arrive early to walk in the surf up and down the length of the beach. Join in, or just lie back and relax.
In between swimming and sun bathing, you will be perfectly located to head into the city for shopping and pinchos. This beach has retained a real Spanish feel and even in August, it is never too full of tourists
This has to be one of Europe's best urban beaches - by far!
Right in the centre of down town San Sebastian.
Igeldo is the westernmost mountain of the city facing the sea with the castle-like building on top, it's nice to take the little tram that climbs the steep mountain. At the top children can enjoy pony rides, while the parents can enjoy the superb view of the city and surrounding mountains.
The tram station is at the bottom of the mountain, by Hondarreta beach.
