In Saint-Sébastien, the sunset is something special.
The sky slows down, La Concha is adorned with gold, the sea changes color and, if background music accompanies it all, the journey becomes one of those unforgettable moments.
Because it is not always necessary to go out in a big way to have a great evening. Sometimes, all it takes is a terrace, a drink, good company, and that precise moment when the sun begins to set.
