The people of San Sebastian love events, group activities, celebrating and feeling the pulse of the city in the streets. Much like the city’s pintxos (tapas), another great passion of both locals and visitors alike, there is something for every taste in San Sebastian. Culture, cuisine and sports meet in this city surrounded by mountains and sea, green and blue, the colours that will accompany you throughout your stay. This calendar includes a small selection of some of the most important events the city celebrates each year. Additional and up-to-date information at: www.sansebastianturismo.com
