The Plano de San Sebastián of 1927 captures the elegance and vitality of this distinguished Basque coastal city at the height of its early 20th-century transformation. Known for its refined urban planning, seaside charm, and cosmopolitan spirit, San Sebastián (Donostia) is here portrayed with remarkable precision, reflecting both its natural beauty and its modernization during Spain’s interwar period.

The map displays the city’s iconic Bahía de La Concha, framed by the sweeping promenade and beaches that made San Sebastián one of Europe’s most fashionable resorts. At its heart lies the Old Town (Parte Vieja), with its dense network of historic streets surrounding the Basilica of Santa María and the Constitution Square. Extending outward, the elegant Ensanche district and the María Cristina Bridge represent the city’s 19th- and early 20th-century expansion, designed with Parisian-inspired boulevards and civic architecture.

By 1927, San Sebastián had established itself as a cultural and leisure destination favored by Spanish royalty and European elites. The map reflects this identity through its careful depiction of parks, theaters, hotels, tram lines, and waterfront developments, showing a city that combined tradition, sophistication, and innovation.

Produced by the Instituto Geográfico y Estadístico, the Plano de San Sebastián exemplifies the clarity and artistry of official Spanish cartography of the era. It served both administrative and promotional purposes—documenting a thriving coastal capital poised between history and modernity.
