San Sebastián
San Sebastian is a hidden gem in the North of Spain at 20 km from France, in the Basque Country.
The iconic La Concha Bay which so fascinated royalty at the beginning of last century, an innovative gastronomy awarded with 18 Michelín Stars that has gained fame the world over, a millenarian and unique Basque culture still alive, together with safety and elegance, make San Sebastian a great destination for professional events.
With a concentration of 22 researchers per 1.000 inhabitants and significant investment in R&D, San Sebastian is among the 200 capitals of the world with the highest scientific production according to Nature Magazine (4th position in Spain). The city annually hosts professional events for the exchange of knowledge, 60% of which are international.
