San Sebastián
San Sebastián (Donostia in Basque) is widely regarded as having the best food scene in Spain, if not all of Europe. This elegant Belle Époque resort city curves around the shell-shaped La Concha bay, one of the most beautiful urban beaches on the continent. With more Michelin stars per capita than almost anywhere else in the world, the city's Old Town is a pintxos paradise where bar-hopping from one culinary gem to the next is an art form. The annual San Sebastián International Film Festival adds a glamorous cultural layer.
