Why go now,cheap jordans online? It’s one long celebration in San Sebastián at the moment – as if you needed a reason to sample the gastronomy here on Spain’s northern coast. Several of the Basque city’s landmark buildings – the María Cristina hotel, the Victoria Eugenia theatre, the La Perla spa, the funfair and the Monte Igueldo funicular – were all built in 1912, and their centenary is still being marked with revamps and commemorative events. And there is always something to satisfy food-lovers. The Santo Tomás festival takes place on December 21, a street market specialising in sausages, cheeses and honey. And on January 20, the city commemorates its patron saint, Sebastián, so expect drumming parades and even more gastronomic events.
