If you're looking for a Spanish break with a difference, browse the cheap hotels in San Sebastian for the perfect getaway where there's much more to explore than the beach alone. The city can be found north of the Basque Country on the southern coast of the Bay of Biscay and benefits from a beautiful coastline as well as some stunning rugged landscapes as a result of the surrounding hills. Built largely on the flatlands around the mouth of the River Urumea, the city has expanded up into the hills over the years and become a thriving cosmopolitan location. However, there is still plenty of cheap accommodation to be found in San Sebastian hotels, so search for something to match your budget and think about exploring this picturesque region. If you're hoping to find more than a beach during your Spanish break, you won't be disappointed when you visit the city. Journey to the Old Town and you'll be able to see antique buildings such as the Gothic Church of San Vicente, the Baroque Church of Santa Maria and the Museo de San Telemo - which was formerly a 16th century convent. A popular attraction is also the beautiful Royal Country House of Miramar - a palace designed in the 19th century by English architect Selden Wornun boasting a Tudor arch and octagonal tower. And if you spend some time getting active by scaling the peaks in the area, you'll be rewarded when you reach the top. At the pinnacle of sandstone hill Monte Urgull you'll discover a museum of military history - Castillo de la Mota - as well as the chapel of the Sacred Heart and a 40 ft-high statue of Christ. Afterwards, you might feel the need to relax on the beach for a while, so head to the small shell-shaped bay of La Concha or the bathing spot of La Perla and while away a few hours recuperating before planning the rest of your holiday. Why not take advantage of some of the San Sebastian hotels available for breaks in the city this year? There are all kinds of accommodation on offer, whether you plan to stay at cheap hotels, trendy boutiques, cosy B&Bs or luxury hotels.
