THE BEST OF THE SEASON

SAN SEBASTIAN. September is the best of the season in San Sebastian. The colors are prettier, the city is calmer, most of the tourist gone already, a few still left to give it a cosmopolitan air, the sea is warm, the occasional sunny day is like sipping the foam at the end of a milkshake, just not enough of it, just the moment to enjoy. Walking on the beach, slowly, one can hardly avoid feeling to be one of the "chosen few", like in Savoir Faire, a master of these things.
If you are ever to come around, choose September if you can.


Septiembre es lo mejor de la temporada de San Sebastian. Los colores son más bonitos, la ciudad está más en calma, la mayoria de los turistas se han ido ya, quedan unos pocos para darle aún ese aire cosmopolita, el mar está caliente, los días soleados que quedan son como cuando se sorbe la espuma de un batido de leche que se acaba, justo el placer del momento. Andando por la playa, despacio, uno apenas puede evitar sentirse uno de los "chosen few", un poco como en Savoir Faire
Si alguna vez vienes a San Sebastian, intenta que sea Septiembre si puedes.

  3. Si pasear pos San Sebastian es muy divertido, lo unico que ahora tiene que hacer un poco de fresquito.

    Besines!!!

    PD: el color no queda muy bien, y es del color del mar, mezcla entre azul y verde. Aunque un azul claro tiene que quedar bien...

  5. I am honoured yeta again to mentioned in a post! I have always travelled to the Mediterranean in September precisely for the reasons that you mention. The Greek islands seem that much more idyllic when the hoards of tourists have gone, the weather cooler and the water warmer!

  12. Oh- how beautiful. I lived in Spain for a year (Granada) but I never made it up to San Sebastian. Next time I visit my friends in Spain, I would LOVE to go.

    I feel the same about September and love this month. As you said, much calmer with a beautiful atmosphere in the air....
