About the time in San Sebastián
Around 40,065 people live in San Sebastián, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:27 and sunset at 05:50 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (9.91, -84.08) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Sebastián.
The zone identifier America/Costa_Rica is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Costa_Rica keeps pointing at Costa Rica time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
