| European Motorhome Rental Stations: Spain > San Sebastian |
| |
San Sebastian (Donostia in the Basque language) is the summer capital of Spain, and here the Belle Epoque lives on. Ideally situated on a choice spot on the Bay of Biscay, it's surrounded by green mountains. From June to September, the population of San Sebastian swells as hundreds of Spanish bureaucrats escape the heat and head for this tasteful resort -- it has few of the tawdry trappings associated with major beachfront cities. San Sebastian is an ideal base for trips to some of the Basque country's most fascinating towns.
Queen Isabella II put San Sebastian on the map as a resort when she spent the summer of 1845 there. In time, it became the summer residence of the royal court. On July 8, 1912, Queen Marķa Cristina inaugurated the grand hotel named after her, and the resort became very fashionable. In what's now the city hall of San Sebastian, built in 1887, a casino opened, and European aristocrats gambled in safety here during World War I.
