Cutely, and accutely, billed as the "Gothic Rio de Janeiro of Spain," the capital of the Basque region is the perfect place not to be in the cinemas. With its majestic beaches, picturesque surrounding mountains, a Jesus statue on the hilltop, small cobblestone alleys in the old town, and massive stone structures of centuries-old buildings that appear like movie sets, San Sebastian offers plenty of distraction from the silver screen.
