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 (only 30 miles away, 40 to surfing in Biarritz) ). It is in the Basque area of Spain, where the people are  friendly, and the scenery surreal!

San Sebastian is a sophisticated city wrapped around one of the best urban beaches in the world - La Concha (the shell)!
