The
conference will be held in San Sebastian, Spain at the Hotel
NH ARANZAZU.
San Sebastian
San Sebastian
is
situated in the north of Spain, in the Bask Country, to the
southwest of France. In Spanish is San Sebastian and in bask
language it names Donosti, although Donosti is used also when
it is spoken in Spanish.
It lies in the shelter of the Monte lgueldo, Urgull and
Ulía, and the river Urumea flows through the middle of it.
Beaches
San
Sebastian has got three beaches; the most famous is Ondarreta
and the Zurriola (also well-known like the beach of Gros).
The beaches of “La Concha” and Ondarreta are in “La Bahía de
la Concha” and where it is the island of Santa Clara. The
beach of the Zurriola is in open sea.
San Sebastian is an important beach resort, but
that's not all that there's to the city.
The cosmopolitanism of the modern town with its
large avenues and elegant tree-lined boulevards and
picturesque old quarter are two important attractions. Don't
miss the fishing port where excellent typical restaurants
compete for business and where you find its two oldest
churches - the Gothic Church of San Vicente and the
Baroque Church of Santa María, as well as the 16th c
Convent of San Telmo, converted into a museum and worthy of a
visit to see its cloister and the paintings by the great Sert
which decorated it.
The beach of La Concha is worthy of
mention, being a magical viewing point from the city out onto
the Bay of Biscay, and if we add to this the Montes Urgull and
lgueldo and the Island of Santa Clara, then the final result
is a bay of outstanding beauty.
The Cathedral del Buen Pastor, the Municipal
Casino, the Auditorium and the Congress Palace are modern
structures of important addition to the urban surroundings.
