Turist go home donostia ez dago salgai
We have been there a few times, our favourite place in Spain
Zer moduz, I am a language learning digital nomad and I was in Donostia, the basque name for San Sebastian. I didn't plan on learning the language, but I decided I will learn it too. What a beautiful region; How great it is to work from everywhere. To have the freedom to choose.
I grew up here, nowadays it is nothing like it used to be… all the new hipster culture and mainstream businesses have made it unbearable to visit as a tourist. Hotel prices are absurd , its always packed with people and Im heartbroken to see it like this. I miss going to the fronton to play with my best buddy and after that to the "pico del loro" (the rock separating la concha from the ondarreta) and catch little crabs and snails.Then Get an ice cream and watch the world cup as my country won . It sounds cliche but it was such an amazing time. The school I went to was amazing St.patricks English school and fun fact the son From the famous Chillida sculptor went to my class , his name was miguel. On the weekends all the schools from the entire city had a saturday soccer beach league , so much rivalry 😂😂.Also my school won the league for over 5 consecutive years. Also I wont ever forget swimming with my father to the isla santa clara on a low tide day, You could almost walk half way there.The nostalgia that comes up in me is un describable, after fifth grade I moved to madrid and Its rather dissapointing. 😞
Going there this summer so exited!
Thank you bros. Panning to follow all recommendations in San Sebastián soon. With the difference that it will be way colder. Cool video 🤙🏼.
I scare shark
GREAT video, guys.I have been to over 60 countries and the Basque country totally changed everything for me. I even started writing because of it! I spent time in Bilbao and Getxo but I have not had the chance to see Donastia yet. This video inspires me to go to this city and really take some time to absorb it.
best city ever
Annoying editing!!!
Estoy flipando con vuestro blog, maravilloso, joder como os conocéis a los vascos
My home town… Beautiful! It seemed bias when I said that, thanks for backing up what I always proudly declared! Best place ever. Gora Donosti!
Nice video. Just a little one "San Sebastián" is the Spanish name and "Donostia" the basque one and not the other way around 😉
Buaahh sois unos putos guiris de la mierda jajajajaja
Excepto Barcelona, que es una ciudad peligrosa tomada por los criminales y los comunistas el resto de España es digno de ver.
5:29 Actually, 'La Tamborrada' has a very different origin, being more of a carnival party where some people marched in groups playing drums and other instruments for fun. Sometimes on bad times at night lol. Throught the years (we are talking 20's here) this event got more popular and also serious and ended being the most important party each 20 of January of San Sebastián. These companies roam throught all our city that day.

The thing you talk about, though, is the August 31th celebration, which was the day the English and Portuguese destroyed and pillaged our city, which is remembered each year by playing 'tamborradas' only in the old part. They also fire fake old rifles and cannons. They even play pipes, is pretty espectacular.

And, lastly, TODAY, me included, we celebrate the 'Gaztelu Eguna' (Day of the Castle), which commemorates the 'Actas de Zubieta' which had place on september 7 and meant the rebuild and resurrection of our city. To me, the best-party-ever.

By the way, did you know there are nothing but one of the very, very few cannons left of the 1588 Invincible Armada in Urgull? In excellent shape, nonetheless… and no, it's not the beautiful, huge 'Rosita Wicke' lol.
Anyway, sorry for the long post, your video was excellent. Thank you!
I just got back and it’s such a cool
Spot. The cheap food and drink is world class. Surf is good and people are friendly. Also an easy drive to Hossegor…another great spot, especially for bikelife
I was there this summer (2019)
Yo vivo en Sanse y nunca he visto un delfín xd
Donostia tiene "a" al final.
How did I miss this for so long?? Damn Youtube recommendations!!! I was born and raised in Donosti but been living in Australia, Jamaica, Colombia, US and several other countries, nothing beats my hometown imho, love this video, big thumbs up!
Te recomiendo la mejillonera, de fiesta por bares, soy de Honduras y vivo en san Sebastián hace 10 años. Gracias por tan bello video.
