Plaza de Gipuzkoa

San Sebastián


Designed in 1877 by French landscape artist Pierre Ducasse, who also created the Jardines de Miramar, this little park is one of San Sebastián's loveliest oases, with a duck pond, a small stream crossed by a little footbridge, and a waterfall. A small temple-like structure shelters a meteorological barometer and planetary chart; also here are two large clocks (one made of flowers) and a statue of pianist and composer José María Usandizaga.

Family-friendly events that take place here include a life-size nativity scene at Christmas.
