Looks lovely but the aim of the game is to rate a skyline, not a nice beach.
9/10 for beauty-I would love to go there
1/10 for its non-existent skyline

Sorry!

Beautiful, but the skyline really blows. I'll give it a 4/10 for the effort though.

Donostia-San Sebastian has two metropolitan train lines. RENFE's one (spanish railways) and Euskotren (basque railways), named "Topo" ("mole", in spanish), because of its largue tunnels.

http://usuarios.lycos.es/xabierpagola3/donostia_topo_plano.jpg

This is the recently opened Lugaritz station of the "Topo":

Donostia is one of the most beautifull cities I've ever been to, the "Playa de la Concha" it's awesome. The Urgull mount, the pintxos, the old quarter, its just great.

But this is not a skyline city.

City 12 or even 14 out of 10.
Skyline 4

Zorionak!!!

Not much of a skyline, but a nice looking place nonetheless. 4/10 for the skyline.
