The Best Sight in San Sebastian, The Basque Country, Navarra, and La Rioja

Background Illustration for Sights

Every corner of Spain champions its culinary identity, but San Sebastián's refined fare is in a league of its own. Many of the city's restaurants and pintxos spots are in the parte vieja, on the east end of the bay beyond the elegant casa consistorial (city hall) and formal Alderdi Eder gardens. The building that now houses city hall opened as a casino in 1887; after gambling was outlawed early in the 20th century, the town council moved here from the Plaza de la Constitución, the parte vieja's main square.

Tabakalera

Amara

Occupying a century-old tobacco factory, this modern cultural center hosts a variety of performances, exhibitions, and screenings (check the website for upcoming events). The roof deck affords pleasing views of the river and skyline.
