Unlike in the south of Spain, where temperatures still feel quite summery until October, San Sebastian actually takes on a magical fall feeling as autumn draws near. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aside from a bit of rain, the weather is mostly pleasant and ideal for walking around town sightseeing. Plus, it’s the perfect month to experience both traditional Basque culture and internationally renowned events (we’ll get to those in a bit). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re visiting San Sebastian in September, here’s what should be on your agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n

Euskal Jaiak<\/a>, or the Basque Festival, consists of an entire week full of exciting regattas, Basque sporting competitions, cultural events and plenty of free-flowing cider.

4. Catch some waves at Zurriola Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surf’s up! San Sebastian’s Zurriola Beach is home to some of the best waves in Spain. And if you’re visiting San Sebastian in September, you’re just in time to ride the best of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the weather starts to get chillier, the waves get bigger and more consistent<\/a>, so early fall is prime time for surfers. Never set foot on a board before but want to see what it’s all about? There are plenty of great surf schools<\/a> based in the nearby Gros neighborhood<\/a> where you’ll be able to learn everything you need to know about riding the waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the unofficial foodie capital of Europe, it’s home to fresh, seasonal dishes of the highest quality all year round. From rustic Basque home cooking to innovative Michelin-starred fare<\/a>, you can’t go wrong with anything you eat here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
