Imagine a summer getaway visiting a world-renowned city (San Sebastián, of course) enjoying a thalassotherapy session and an exotic massage and rounding off the experience in a panoramic restaurant with views over La Concha bay tasting a Summer Menu. Does it sound good? Experiencing it is better, much better.

It is no secret that San Sebastián and its surrounding towns host one of the world’s largest concentration of Michelin Star restaurants: within a radius of only just 25 kilometres there are up to 11 restaurants with a total of 18 stars. And best of all, is that this figure is just the icing on the cake (never better said!) of the foodie passion that can be felt in the capital of Gipuzkoa.

This is known to those who visit the city and lose themselves among the pintxo bars of the Old Town or Gros searching for the best examples of the so-called ‘miniature cuisine’, or who walk among the fresh goods (mainly, meat, fish and vegetables) of the traditional and centenary markets such as San Martín or La Bretxa, the same markets resorted to by the chefs of the main restaurants to select the best produce.

All this has helped to turn San Sebastián into one of the most reputed gastronomic destinations in Spain and Europe, a place to treat one’s sense of smell and taste buds.

And if you are not content with only treating two of your senses, but three or four? And what if you were to take your summers plans in San Sebastián to a level which combines the gourmet experience with wellbeing in a venue with stunning views of San Sebastián?
