Iglesia de San Vicente was built in the Gothic style. It survived after the fire when Napoleon’s troops set the city alight. Have a look at the sculpture of La Piedad on the facade when entering the church. Inside, you can marvel at the best Romanesque altarpieces. The church is located at 15 San Juan Kalea.

For over 90 years, the building of Tabakalera housed a tobacco factory in San Sebastián. It covers 13,277 square metres of the urban area.

Tabakalera is located at 1 Plaza de las Cigarreras. It operates on weekdays from 09:00 to 21:00 and on weekends from 10:00 to 21:00.

Tamborrada of Donostia takes place on the 20th of January and gathers adults and youth. It is one of the major festivities in San Sebastián held every year. The celebration is worth visiting because you can watch dozens of groups of tamborrada strolling around the city streets playing drums and barrels to the sound of Sarriegui’s song.
