You cannot speak of Donostia-San Sebastián without mentioning how well nature and human artifice sit in the city. Nature has shaped an almost perfect shell-like bay, closed in on itself to form a tame sea and half open to the ocean in search of horizons.
The truth is that San Sebastian is, above all, the Concha bay, protected at either end by Mt. Urgull and Mt. Igeldo, adorned by the island of St. Clare and crowned by a promenade that makes you wish it would go on forever.
From the said mountains, the charmed visitor can take in a panorama where water and greenery are the stars and where man has spared and even managed o add to the unequalled beauty of this raw material.
