A city in Spain with amazing beaches has been named one of the best places to live

Spain has always been known for its scenic views and golden beaches, but among them there is one city that can be called the perfect blend of urbanity and nature - San Sebastian. This particular place on the Bay of Biscay is a great chance for nomads - people who love traveling and work remotely from anywhere in the world - to enjoy life quite.

Briton James Smith, who has lived in Spain for many years, advises Express on this particular city for its work-life balance. In particular, a huge advantage of San Sebastian is its versatility, because a fan of beaches, a lover of mountains, and a lover of urban life can find their place here.

"San Sebastian is a great choice for those with a nomadic lifestyle, as this city offers the perfect balance between bustling city life and striking nature with its amazing beaches," said the man.

The most important mountains - Igeldo, Urgull and Ulia - are open for adventure seeking. There are quite a few hiking trails that will gladly welcome travelers, and even more so outdoor enthusiasts. In particular, Mount Igeldo is the highest mountain in the city, but is only 205 meters above sea level. The smaller Urgull (123 m) offers an incredible view of La Conca Bay.

San Sebastian's most famous beaches are the famous Playa de la Concha and Playa de Ondarreta with its golden sand and blue water. However, this city is not just about beaches. Its old cobbled streets combine history and modernity at the same time. It's home to high-end stores, lively bars and world-class restaurants.

"The Basque influence on local cuisine has led to San Sebastian's reputation as one of Spain's culinary capitals - you must try the local steak," he said.

San Sebastian is a cool place to live not only because of the beauty and food, but also the price level. For the most part, they are moderate here and vary only on a person's specific needs. A Quora user calculated the approximate cost of living per month:

• one-room apartment in the center: 900 - 1500 €;
• utilities: 100 - 150 €;
• groceries: 300 - 500 €;
• transportation: 50 - 100 €;
• medium priced food establishments: 20 - 30 €;
• entertainment and recreation: 50 - 100 €.

"About the general convenience of life, San Sebastian is almost perfect," - summarized James Smith.
