Carry a surfboard like many others or just enjoy the charged atmosphere in this part of Spain. In this section of San Sebastián called Gros, people are here for a good time. The reasons are obvious when seeing the wide beach with its waves, a selection of trendy stores and nightlife that inspires revellers to watch the sun come up. Stay in Gros to absorb its lifestyle in which time is measured by what you will do next. Choose from a selection of activities, which are considerable with something to match most tastes. Zurriola Beach is a daily magnet for those who want to be sportive or just lie on the white sand and listen to the waves. One end of the beach attracts surfers and others to play beach games with even a possibility of some live music. The beach is bookended by a modern construction known as Kursaal Palace and Monte Ulia, a high outcropping of forested land. Kursaal Palace is a contemporary building built in 1999 and the venue of many events, including the San Sebastián International Film Festival. Its modern design matches the vibrancy of this region. The mountain gives hikers an area for tranquility and provides a spectacular view of the beach and surroundings. Have a family outing as the 30-minute climb is not difficult and you’ll discover a children’s playground. Go into town and walk the lively pedestrian streets and squares. Families will want to find Plaza Cataluña with its special area for children and shady areas for a picnic. You will immediately notice the frequency of bars and restaurants that make this locale very popular among young citizens and visitors. Thursdays attract the most interest because it’s pintxo-pote day when drinks and snacks are very reasonably priced. Park your car in one of the main car parks and walk or bike, as areas of interest are located quite close to each other. If you come from San Sebastián, park on one side of Kursaal Bridge and walk over to Gros. You’ll soon be captured by the area’s youthful spirit that marks this neighbourhood as the place to be in Spain’s Donostia region. --- ### Popular places to visit ![San Ignacio Church showing a church or cathedral and heritage architecture](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/259000/259743-Gros.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### San Ignacio Church Find this beautiful and traditional religious building from the 19th century in the heart of a popular neighborhood of San Sebastián.
