DONOSTIA - SAN SEBASTIÁN A walking tour around the city / Un paseo por la ciudad
Donostia (in Basque language or Euskara) or San Sebastián (in Spanish) is a city located on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and 20 km away from the French border. The city is the capital of Gipuzkoa, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country.
The city architecture was mainly influenced by Clasicist style and later the French Belle Epoque style, after becoming a resort town for royalty at the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th century.
The main economic activities are commerce and tourism, being one of the most famous tourist destinations in Spain. Despite the city's small size, international events such as the San Sebastián International Film Festival have given it an international dimension.
San Sebastián, along with Wrocław, Poland, will be the European Capital of Culture in 2016.
