EDITORS COMMENTS
San Sebastian, a stunning coastal city located in the Basque Region of Spain, is beautifully captured in this early 20th century photograph of Paseo de la Concha. Taken on January 16, 1904, the image showcases the city's iconic waterfront promenade, which translates to 'The Shell Promenade' in English. The name derives from the shape of the bay, which resembles a large conch shell. The photograph reveals the grandeur of the city's Belle Époque architecture, with ornate buildings lining the promenade and elegant streetlights illuminating the scene. The tranquil waters of the bay are calm and inviting, reflecting the clear blue sky above. The beach is dotted with bathers and sunbathers, enjoying the mild winter weather. San Sebastian was a popular destination for European aristocrats and wealthy travelers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the city's elegant promenade was a must-visit attraction. The Paseo de la Concha was the heart of the city's social scene, where visitors would stroll along the waterfront, take in the breathtaking views, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. Today, San Sebastian remains a beloved destination for travelers from around the world, known for its beautiful beaches, delicious cuisine, and rich cultural heritage. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past, showcasing its timeless charm and elegance.
