August 31: more than a date on the calendar

For the inhabitants of San Sebastian, August 31 is not just another date; it is a day that is lived with deep respect and emotion. It is a moment of reflection on the resilience and civic spirit that characterizes the city. 31 de Agosto Street, the only survivor of the fire of 1813, is the stage where every year homage is paid to the courage and determination of those who, in the face of adversity, rose up to shape the San Sebastian of today.

Tradition and memory: the legacy of August 31

The commemoration of August 31 is a tradition rooted in the hearts of the people of San Sebastian.

Lasala Plaza Hotel, with its privileged location, becomes a silent witness to these celebrations. Guests can experience the solemnity of the day and understand why 31 de Agosto Street and the old town of San Sebastian are much more than tourist attractions; they are emblems of an identity forged in adversity and hope.
