San Sebastián's top club, a classic disco housed in a grand seafront complex, sets the stage for memorable beachside partying. The club action kicks in late, but in summer you can warm up with a drink or two on the street-level terrace. Note that door selection can be arbitrary and groups of men might have trouble getting in.
