Holiday Rental: Comfy 2 Double Bed Flat near La Concha Beach in San Sebastian



Photo of the Concha Bay at dusk and at high tide (at low tide the beach is much larger). Monte Igeldo is to the left entrance of the bay and has a children’s carnival centre on top, with terrace cafe and great views. In the middle of the Bay is the Isla Santa Clara which is reachable by boat or by swimming (better from the beach to the left of the Concha, called Ondaretta) and has a bar and picnic spots. On the right of the photo is Monte Urgull a wooded hill with many walking paths and below it the San Sebastian Old Area (“Parte Vieja”). Across the River Urmea is another beach more popular with surfers as that beach catches more waves from the Bay of Biscay (part of the Atlantic Ocean).

The flat is 5 minutes stroll to the Concha beach and next to the Plaza Easo which has terrace bars and restaurants. For a detailed location map in googlemap click here.
