San Sebastian Weather

San Sebastián is a cosmopolitan tourist destination in Spain’s Basque Country, famous for its pleasant weather, spectacular coastline and pristine beaches. For decades, this sophisticated resort city has been a favourite destination for aristocratic Spaniards who wish to escape sweltering summer temperatures.

Summer is probably the best time to enjoy the lively city beaches and clear waters, but the wonderfully mild climate allows visitors to enjoy San Sebastián throughout the year. The month of July heralds the arrival of celebrated performers for the Jazz Festival or visit in September while the weather is still warm, and take time to attend screenings at the International Film Festival.

The city is situated in a sheltered bay and flanked by the peaks of Mount Urgull and Mount Igueldo. Paradisiacal beaches form a crescent shape within the bay, ideal for strolling, swimming and surfing. The tremendous beauty of this city and its rugged natural surroundings will truly enchant all visitors, with a vibrant social atmosphere and mouth-watering cuisine that can be enjoyed in all seasons and weather - rain, hail or shine!
