*Everyone gets mauled on it because no one wants to sacrifice himself*
Como ciudadano de San Sebastián-Donostia, os tengo que agradecer por la manera que habláis de mi orgullosa ciudad. Normalmente el norte de España suele ser opacado por la parte sur, porque la parte sur es más visitada por turistas y mucha gente no sabe la existencia de mi querida ciudad. Siempre seréis bienvenidos a España y al País Vasco. Eskerrik asko eta agur!!
Thank you! Loved your video) We are about to go there in a car from Barcelona. So you experience is really helpful.
We're so glad you found it helpful. Enjoy your trip.
Gracias por vuestra información y la mirada abierta.
Me gusta mucho el recorrido a lugares que otros visitantes no conocen.
Nosotros pertenecemos bal pintxopote de Gros , no hemos perdido ninguno desde el inicio...
Agur.
We're so glad you enjoyed the video. We can't wait to return for more Pintxo pote!
Love this channel! Excited for what's next.
Thank you Brett!

Hi, Lovely clip, very useful information. We booked to San Sebastian in early June 2023. Hopefully we get good weather and not too much rain
Thanks so much. Have a great trip!
This is the most underrated city in Spain. Thanks to the achievements of Real Sociedad in football, many people discover this beautiful city, aside from Madrid and Barcelona. I put this city to my travel list.
Definitely go check it out! Thanks for watching.
Actually really helpful info thanks 🙌🏼🤟🏼
Thank you!

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thank you so much!!
You will pass out when you discover what the Basque Country really is.Having an open mind is a blessing.
Amazing video… I thought I was going to stay there 3 days now seems like more than 5 😅❤
That's great! Have a wonderful trip!
Habéis hecho un vídeo fantástico de San Sebastián , se ve que lo habéis disfrutado de verdad , un saludo.
Muchas gracias!
It was at that gazebo in 2019 where I learned that people were still dancing the Lindy Hop. When I returned home, I was shocked to learn from TH-cam that this dance is still popular all around the world. I was set to volunteer at the International Lindy Hop Championship in NY last month but reconsidered due to Covid concerns. As it turned out, many people did contract covid there including several of my favorite competitors. I think I made the right decision.
Thanks for sharing your story! The gazebo is the perfect place to meet dancers. I wasn't at ILHC either (I'm not ready for that yet). -Lainey
Looks great and an excellent vid thanks !!! I’m back in northern Spain next month so will certainly try to visit.
Thank you! We hope you get to visit it. Enjoy northern Spain. :) are you walking another Camino?
Yeah I’m back on again - can’t wait to resume endless walking, drinking lovely vino and making new buddies … must try that cider, looked great !!! 👍🏻 D
@@happywanderer6688 oooh, that's the perfect day! Buen Camino!
Me alegro mucho de vuestra experiencia en nuestra ciudad , que es la vuestra.
Hasta pronto.
Thank you so much.
Wow looks great there! Definitely a spot I would like to go someday. Great video too. Hope yall enjoyed it 😊
Thank you! We had a wonderful time.
Our favorite holiday city in the world. We have visited repeatedly!
@@DaysWeSpend Probablemente una de las ciudades más hermosas del mundo, y con una gastronomía brutal, con muchos restaurantes estrellas michelin ,y muchos chef entre los mejores del mundo. Una ciudad de ensueño.
@@joseantonio3122 Nosotros estamos de acuerdo.

What is it really?
My cousin Ugerdoitz Sagardogui, San Sebastian native, thanks U for this awesome video. ✌️👉❤️❤️
Oh wow!!! Thanks so much.
I have been so many times to San Sebastián is such a beautiful location, this is definitely the jewel of the Basque region in Spain. Much to my surprise there are places you show that I have never seen. Thank you so much for sharing deeply appreciated.❤
Thank you for watching. Hopefully, you'll get to visit it again soon.
In Spagna?, sei sicuro?, io direi piuttosto nei Paesi Baschi.
do like the way you couple present the city touring, wish to see more about the city comparison series lol
Thanks for watching. Which cities would you like to see?
Bilbao it is~
I’m pretty much just going to copy this whole trip
Hahaha awesome. It’s a good time!
Quee arquitecturaa.
RIP Barry
Hey you two. I love your content. I’ve been following for a while. My friend and I have settled on a modified Camino Norte with a longer stop in San Sebastián. I understand we can’t stay at an albergue (at least a municipal one) for more than one night and will need to book other accommodations. You mentioned in this video that you stayed in an apartment in Gros. Would you recommend that place, and if so, what is the contact information for it? Thanks.
Thank you so much! Sounds like you have a fun trip planned! Our apartment was through a rental company called FeelFree. The place we stayed has a one month minimum. Some places on that site don’t have minimums, but it’s very pricey for a short term stay.
On two previous trips we stayed in an airbnb room with an incredible local host in Gros. She introduced us to Pintxo pote! Send us a DM, email, or an IG message and we’ll share the listing with you.
parkour at 4:10 bahaha
Ihr 2 seit lustig 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you :)

uhum.... "seid".... 🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇭🇧🇪🙏.
Lovely video! Is Sunday a great day to visit?
Many places are closed on Sunday (at least in the off season, that was our experience). But that does mean things are a little less crowded.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Did you stay at an Airbnb or hotel? I’ll be there for 4-5 nights in February and want to stay somewhere so I can walk to everything. Especially food spots 😋 Any recommendations on which area to stay, hotels, etc? Thank you!
We actually rented an apartment for two months to save on costs while we immersed ourselves in San Sebastián. FeelFree does luxury short term rentals (I’m not sure what their minimum is but it’s worth a look). Gros is the best. Best tapas. Great beach. Really fun. Don’t miss pintxo pote night on Thursdays!
Sounds like an amazing place to visit, but would love to know cost-of-living for slow, travel or longer. Thanks.
Absolutely. We were only there for a few months, so I’m not sure how accurate we could be. Plus there’s a huuuuuge price swing depending on the season. Rent, for example, triples in the summer.
Just started watching your channel. What do you both do for a living to support your travels and any tips on how to work online?
Thanks for watching! Shawn’s a travel writer and copywriter. I teach dancing and am a social media manager.
In terms of working online, build as many connections as you can. It’s often who you know. Create a good online website or portfolio. Be active on social media. We’ve both had clients reach out to us on Instagram.
Shi... am i the only one that came from google while searching up San Sebastian from guts and blackpowder?
Same here
Hello!
I think I’ve got the attention of that ship over there!
Subbed
Thanks so much for watching!
Hello,
At what time of the year did you go there ? I Plan to fly there at the end of March, can I enjoy the sun or would it be more cloudy ?
Thanks for helping ✌🏽
We were there from the beginning of March until early May. It's almost always cloudy in San Sebastian. You might have a few days of sun and a few days of cloud/rain. Enjoy your trip!
Do you have accommodation tips?
Our number one tip is to travel in the off season when accommodation is cheaper. We've used Airbnb successfully (booked a room in a local's apartment). Our host Monika gave us a great introduction to the city. If you're flexible with your dates, often times there is more affordable accommodation available (such as avoiding weekends and holidays).
Great video except for all the goofing around. Surprised you didn’t mention the funicular railway though - one of the three oldest in Spain and spectacular views at the top. A real highlight for us.
Thanks for watching. The funicular is really cool but in our experience (we went twice), everything was closed or it was so crowded that the line was 2 hours to the top. We tried walking up, but the road was randomly closed for construction with no notice. Our experience was not one we wanted to recommend.
Can anyone recommend the best way to pre-purchase train tickets from Barcelona to San Sebastian. There are so many websites and I'm not sure if all are legit. I appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
We don't recommend taking the train from Barcelona to San Sebastian. There isn't a direct route and it requires many transfers. We suggest flying into Irun/San Sebastián or Bilbao. Or, take the bus (you can book directly through the Monbus website).
U forget Mont Igeldo and his park
Vielleicht eine der fünf schönsten Städte Europas. Das ganze Baskenland ist wunderschön.
Is it very bike friendly?
Yes! Everywhere, except the old town. There are some excellent bike paths to get through the main parts of town.
One sort of wonders--after 6 minutes of viewing--if the purpose of the video is to present the city or if it's simply a showcase for the two hosts to be "cute." ('Sorry. I have a penchant for honesty.)
Without those affected grimaces it would be 100x better, because if you’d like to focus on place, you see affected smiles🤦🏻
Basque apple cider is called SAGARDOA not cidra. I also love sagardoa. Otherwise, this a nice little video with very good information about this magical city. 👍
Thanks for the clarification. We didn't know the Basque word (and now we do 😀)
“Sidra” (in Spanish) or “Sagardoa” (in Basque)
