ZINEMALDIA, THE MOST IMPORTANT FILM FESTIVAL IN SPAIN…STARTS THIS WEEK !

The 2024 San Sebastián Film Festival, or Donostia Zinemaldia, is set to unfold in one of the best times of the year to visit the Basque city. Held from September 20 to 28, 2024, the festival will coincide with San Sebastián's idyllic late summer atmosphere. September is considered one of the finest months to experience the city, as the busy summer tourism season winds down, and the locals start to reclaim the town’s vibrant culture and culinary scene.

As the international crowds thin out, bars and restaurants become quieter, allowing locals to indulge in the region’s famed pintxos and attend various gastronomic events that often coincide with the festival. San Sebastián, known for its concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants, is at its culinary peak during this time, making September a paradise for food lovers.

Additionally, September is also a prime month for surfing in San Sebastián. The city's stunning beaches, such as Zurriola, see some of the best waves of the year. The autumn swells bring perfect conditions for surfers, attracting professionals and amateurs alike. The mix of exciting cinematic premieres and thrilling surf adds a dynamic layer to the overall festival experience.

With the tranquil charm of the city, excellent food, and world-class cinema, the San Sebastián Film Festival in September offers a unique fusion of culture, natural beauty, and relaxation, making it one of the most anticipated cultural events of 2024.
