Mirimar Palace

The Spanish monarchy used to vacation in San Sebastian, and in order to live comfortably during the summer they bought an estate from the Count of Moriana, and ordered an English architect to build a summer home. In 1931 the palace briefly became property of the San Sebastian local government until Franco’s regime, when the mansion was returned to the Royal Family. In 1972 it was bought by the local government and today it’s a museum open to the public. Its grounds are green, filled with flowers, and provide a relaxing view of the ocean.
