San Sebastian in September sweeps us off our feet – the beauty of the city, the wonderful Basque cuisine, the spectacular beach and long boulevards and mild evening strolls, the glittery and exciting film festival venues, a day trip to nearby Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim Museum there, a contemporary boutique hotel. 

Layer on the international film festival – a cross between The Cannes Film Festival and Venice in its ability to attract exciting new international films and glamorous stars set in a fabulous resort town.

Sightseeing … We arrange a pintxo crawl with culinary expert Eskerne Falcon, that includes a progressive lunch, along with a day trip to nearby Bilbao to see the Guggenheim Museum. 

Festival Accreditation … We will arrange for access to the opening night gala and daily screenings. 

Hotel Zenit Convento San Martin… A boutique hotel, a short and pleasant walk to the principal screening venues.
