San Sebastian is the queen of Basque resorts. Having a beautiful beach, with sparkling blue water, bounded by lush, rolling hills La Conch Bay resort has been a celebrity magnet for generations, with its chic La Concha Bay resort. Mild winters and hot summers add to the attraction.

The resort is crowded in July and August and especially during the week of Semana Grande in mid-August when the week is packed with music and sports events, as well as world-famous firework displays.
