Description
The railing along the Concha Bay promenade in San Sebastian, Basque Country, Spain. Digital oil painting.
The Concha Bay is the image par excellence of San Sebastian: it is the most classic, the most photographed, the most visited of them all... The Concha Beach stands right in the centre of the city. Its 1,500 meters of white sand are elegant and cosmopolitan. The Concha is considered one of the best city beaches in the world.
The the Concha (Spanish for shell) promenade is punctuated with several elements famous in their own right and well known beyond the city: the Concha railing (one of the most universal icons of the city, unmistakable for its design), the lamp posts (replicated in the Film Festival awards), “the clocks”, main access to the beach, the area around La Perla (with its variety of spa options, bars & restaurants, sports clubs, etc.). All of these elements make a stroll round the Concha (whether by the beach or the promenade) an essential activity for locals and tourists alike.
Following this promenade all the way to the west will lead you to the Comb of the Winds, an impressive set of iron sculptures by Chillida set on the breakwater where the rock meets the sea.
