  1. I'm going there in the Summer! Also Bilbao, and the caves in Cantabria. This Rick Steves guy gives a very pleasant overview! I like his being interested in the language.

  2. I don't think you are showing what San Sebastian has to offer. Very very por As for showing a Marihuana shop as somthing of interest. In my entire live seen one of this shops. You haven´t mentioned the international film festival, the best restaurants in the world of the fantastic bars in the old town. Obviously you documents are not of any interest at all after seen this one.

  3. as locals call the place…..yes its name is donostia and its inhabitants are basque, mostly basque language speakers, s senastian is the alien name imposed on us and used by anti basque spaniards and illiterate tourists

  4. Ah, San Sebastián: they told me it was the fairest littoral city in all Spain. Well, for setting, agreed. That cute wee curve of bay with the mini-islands is, indeed, reminiscent of a small-scale version of Rio. But the city? The truth? For me, it has about 3 streets and Plaza Consti. to see, but the rest is nothing but a sprawling, apartment-blockey bathetic let-down. Lift San Sebastián up, plonk it 200 miles inland and it would be what it really is: a vaguely, modern-looking nondescript town with a rather small, but not unattractive, Old Town, based on one mildly attractive plaza, and, frankly, little else. Unless you like the pintxos bars.
