expansion of the city during the early 20th century with the influence of the Spanish Queen Maria Cristina in the
construction of many of San Sebastian's most characteristic buildings such as Hotel de Londres and Maria Cristina
(named after her), the catherdal of Buen Pastor (Good Shepherd), Victoria Eugenia auditorium, Miramar Palace, Comb
