The story of La Concha Beach

La Concha became fashionable in the late 1800s when the Spanish royal family spent summers in San Sebastián. The Miramar Palace still overlooks the bay.

Its white railings and lamp posts are symbols of the city, and the water is calm thanks to the island protecting the bay.
