San Sebastian, Spain

Photography Tour in San Sebastian

The best photos of San Sebastian aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

San Sebastian is the culinary capital of Europe, a Basque coastal city with a perfect shell-shaped beach, the world's highest concentration of Michelin stars per capita, and a legendary pintxo bar culture.

Top Photography Tour Spots

•La Concha Beach and promenade — a crescent-shaped bay often ranked among Europe's best urban beaches, with an elegant Belle Époque promenade and views of Santa Clara Island
•Monte Igueldo viewpoint — a hilltop amusement park reached by a 1912 funicular, with sweeping views over La Concha Bay, the city, and the Cantabrian coastline

Hidden Photography Tour Gems

•Paseo Nuevo — a dramatic coastal walkway around the base of Monte Urgull, often battered by Atlantic waves, connecting the two beaches via the rocky headland
•Zurriola Beach — the surfing beach on the east side, with a younger, more local vibe and the striking Kursaal conference center designed by Rafael Moneo
