San Sebastian, Spain: Private tours and shore excursions with local guides

San Sebastian is a beautiful and historic city located in the Basque Country region of Spain. Its name is derived from Saint Sebastian, a 6th century Christian saint who was martyred for his faith. San Sebastian is an important religious and cultural center in northern Spain. It is known for its cobblestone streets, colorful houses, lively port and picturesque beaches. The city is also known for its gastronomy and lively nightlife.
San Sebastian has a long history as a port city and religious center. It was founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC as one of their military outposts on the Atlantic coast. The city remained under Roman rule until 409 AD, when it fell to the Visigoths. San Sebastian functioned as a defended colony until the 11th century, when King Fernando I of Aragon made it his capital. In 1412, San Sebastian fell to the army of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile, who turned the city into a Christian fortress against the Muslim Moors who had occupied much of Spain after their conquest in the 8th century.

San Sebastian is one of those places forgotten by time, but which retains much charm. The architecture, the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, the Basilica of St. Mary of the Chorus, the Palace of Miramar are to be seen. The Concha Beach is also pleasant, with rather calm waters.
