La Concha in San Sabastian with a Holiday Apartment Nearby

For your next HOLIDAY APARTMENTS IN SPAIN, how about heading north to the Basque country? There is one of Europe's finest beaches, a perfect cove in the shape of a giant shell and probably why it is called La Concha which in English means “the shell”. Perfectly coveted by San Sabastian which the Basques though call it Donostia. The two official languages are Castellano and Euskadi. In the mouth of the bay, the Island Santa Clara stands like an emerald in the blue sea: close enough to swim out to yet far enough that some will need to use a boat.
