San Sebastian is situated in northern Spain’s Basque country. Almost anything you could want to do can be done here with skiing in the Pyrenees just 2 hours away, and glorious beaches all around the dynamic city. It is situated on the Bay of Biscay and is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Climbing, hiking, paragliding….anything and everything can be enjoyed here.
The San Sebastian Film Festival began back in 1953. It is held every year in this Spanish city, and although originally it was intended to honour only films of the Spanish language, nowadays films from all over the world are eligible to receive the prestigious awards that are awarded at the ceremony. Most winners of the awards are determined by a jury although there is also an audience award at the ceremony for the category “most popular film.”
Paris, London Milan…..Madrid? Perhaps not usually immediately thought of as one of the fashion elite, the Spanish Capital is definitely taking steps to change that.
Madrid fashion week which has just recently taken place has been given a dramatic shake up under the direction of the local government there. The Paserela Cibeles as it was previously called saw a virtual doubling of participants this year and placed a far greater emphasis on emerging talents throughout. A third runway was added at the event to show off the sumptuous collections and the number of corporate sponsors was increased three-fold. Add this altogether and you’ve got a pretty exciting event with plenty of buzz surrounding it.
