During the Peninsular Wars, Napoleon\u2019s troops occupied the city but British forces drove them out in 1813. Unfortunately, the French laid waste as they retreated and it wasn\u2019t until the late nineteenth century that the Old Quarter was fully rebuilt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"search-widget-overlay\" class=\"search-widget-overlay\">\r\n  <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__form\" data-search-widget-container>\r\n    <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__details\">\r\n      <button class=\"search-widget-overlay__close\" data-search-widget-close>\r\n        \u2715\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__text\">\r\n        San Sebastian       <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"search-widget-cta\">\r\n  <button class=\"search-widget-cta__button\" data-search-widget-cta>\r\n    Tickets to San Sebastian   <\/button>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The city was a sleepy fishing town until Queen Isabell II visited, thus establishing it as a retreat for landed gentry.
