| People run away from huge waves crashing onto San Sebastian's seafront February 17, 2006. A combination of several circumstances such as the full moon season, a squall over the Cantabrian Sea and heavy wind gusts reaching speeds of 110km (68mph) contributed to create sea tides to levels not seen in the area for the past 3 years, with waves as high as 10 meters (33 feet).
