San Sebastián (Donostia in Basque) curves around a perfectly sheltered bay in the Gulf of Biscay, its Belle Époque architecture, Playa de la Concha, and dense concentration of pintxos bars forming one of the most appealing urban environments in northern Spain. Monte Igueldo and Monte Urgull bracket the bay and offer competing panoramic vantage points over the city. The city hosts a major international film festival each September.
