Trip to San Sebastián, Spain 🇪🇸

We recently visited San Sebastián, Spain 🇪🇸 A beautiful coastal city in northern Spain that completely won us over 💕 We started our day early with a stroll along Playa de la Concha, one of the most iconic beaches in Spain 🏝️ At sunrise, the light ✨ is soft and golden, making it the perfect time for photos with the bay shimmering under the morning sky ☀️ The calm waters and views of the Isla de Santa Clara are simply breathtaking. We captured a few shots of the beach as it started to come alive, with joggers and locals walking their dogs 🐕 If you’re a photography lover, this is a must 📸 📍Playa de la Concha, 20007 San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Spain We also wandered through San Sebastián’s charming Old Town, known as Parte Vieja. The narrow streets and vibrant buildings are full of character 😍 The Plaza de la Constitución, with its historic buildings and charming balconies, was one of our favorite spots for photos 📸 We explored the local shops and admired the bustling pintxos bars lining the streets. Make sure to stop by Bar Nestor, famous for its delicious tomato salad 🥗 and steak 🥩 it’s a hidden gem among the locals 💎 📍Parte Vieja, 20003 San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Spain One of the best ways to see the city from above is by hiking up Monte Urgull ⛰️The trail is quite scenic, with lush greenery and historic fortifications along the way. At the summit, we were rewarded with panoramic views of San Sebastián, including the whole coastline and the Old Town. The Castillo de la Mota, a small castle 🏰 perched on the hill, offers the perfect backdrop for a photo with the city spread out below you. The views at midday, when the sun is high, were just spectacular ✨ 📍Monte Urgull, 20003 San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Spain We also took a peaceful stroll around the Miramar Palace and its lush gardens. The palace itself is beautiful 😍 but the real highlight for us was the view of the bay and the surrounding hills. From the garden, we got a glimpse of the city and the coastline, which provided the perfect opportunity for some stunning photos 📸 The serenity of the place made it an ideal escape from the crowds. This is a less-visited spot that offers quiet beauty and wonderful photo moments 🙌 📍Miramar Palace, Avda. de los Recoletos, 20007 San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Spain We then took the funicular up to Monte Igueldo, where we enjoyed panoramic views of the city at sunset 🌇 The combination of the golden hues of the setting sun with the vibrant blue of the ocean 🌊 made for the perfect photograph. From the top, you can capture breathtaking views of the coastline, the city, and the bay. This is one of the best spots to get a sweeping view of San Sebastián at its most magical 💯 📍Funicular de Monte Igueldo, 20008 San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Spain San Sebastián truly is a hidden gem 💎 filled with so many spots that are perfect for photography, delicious food, and unforgettable views 🙌🙌🙌 #hiddengems #travel #vacation
