Those who are fans of classical music should visit San Sebastian in August, as this is the time when the wonderful event Quincena Musical takes place. It is remarkable not only because familiar names can be found among its performers (and they are well-known even to those who are not keen on symphonic music), but also because the event is one of the oldest European festivals dedicated to the classics. Here you can listen and enjoy the works in their original sound, and processed in a modern way. Visitors of the event are pleased not only by orchestras but also by solo performers, as well as ballet troupes. The festival is also interesting for children: for example, a special children’s concert is organized as part of the holiday. Concerts are also held in one of the most remarkable places in the city – the palace Kursaal.
The beginning of September is marked by a colorful event – Regatta La Concha. This spectacular rowing competition starts at the bay of the same name – this is where most of the visitors gather, some of whom have come especially to witness the spectacle of the regatta. Those who could not be present at the holiday, “stick” to their TV screens, as the colorful event is broadcasted on all TV channels. Many people book themed excursions and rent luxury yachts at this time – and you can also follow their example, especially since such leisure will bring only the most pleasant impressions.
