San Sebastian Is A City Of Hope And Vitality For Your Holiday Rentals In Spain
This year you have chosen HOLIDAY RENTALS IN SPAIN in the wonderful city of San Sebastian, which in the Basque language is called Donostia. This beautiful city is often referred to as the jewel in Spain's Basque Country. When you first see the city overlooking the scenic La Concha Bay, you will be able to appreciate this often used nomenclature. With two miles of promenade lining a beach covered in white sand, it looks ever so inviting.
If you are interested in the history of San Sebastian, the best way to experience it on a first hand basis is by paying a visit to the Old Town. You would not know it today but the main square Plaza de la Constitucion was once a bull ring. This square is now home to cafes and restaurants with their tables sitting where bulls once pounded their hooves. While you are in the square, take time to sample some of the locally made baked goods before you visit the Baroque and Gothic churches situated in this old section of town.
If you brought your children with you then a good place to spend the day while learning about the sea is at the aquarium. There is a variety of species on display including sharks and rays which you can observe as they glide their way around the saltwater tank. You will also discover how the Basque fishermen caught fish through the ages including the different techniques used in this endeavour. If you are interested in the close association of city and sea then the Naval Museum has the answers.
For a day out from your HOLIDAY RENTALS IN SPAIN, visit the capital of the Basque Country: Bilbao. Once you see this vibrant city you will find it hard to believe that, under Franco, it was a dirty, hopeless and depressing place to live. In more recent times it has elevated itself to a city of hope and vitality. One of the big reasons behind this is the new construction including an opera house, convention centre and, above all else, the world famous Guggenheim Museum making Bilbao a new and vibrant city.
