Rockaway Beach: Basque Country

Located just 50 metres from the golden sands of La Concha beach, this home’s address in San Sebastián sells itself. For foodies, the Old Town is only a seven-minute stroll – there are plenty of tempting eateries, from pintxos bars to Michelin-starred restaurants. The apartment is quite minimal in style, and the sofa bed in the living room makes the space quite cramped when in use. Having said that, there are French doors leading out to Juliet balconies in the living room and bedroom, which is a nice touch.
