Another pro-tip: Thursday is usually the "Pintxo-Pote" day. This means that in the leisure areas full of bars you will receive those evenings a free pintxo (each local decides what pintxo serve) with each drink you order. It's a widespread practice throughout the whole region.

I'm pleased you found it helpful! If you are flying in and out of Bilbao, I would take the bus to San Sebastian. It's cheap and quicker than the train.

Hi Gwen, thanks for the efficient, encompassing video....I am excited to see San Sebastien next Spring, but I'm concerned about language barriers. Any tips on what communication is like? Menus, hospitality, etc?

My pleasure! I hope it was helpful in your planning your trip to San Sebastian. I'm sure you'll have a great time. Don't forget to Google events and holidays - I believe they have some happenings in the spring. As for language barrier, many in San Sebastian speak English. You're actually going to hear a lot of languages, especially Basque, Spanish and French (due to the area), in addition to English. Try to lend the local Basque if you can, or Spanish. For help, use Google Translate. Great app. You can speak English into it and it will provide audio translation. For menus, use the camera on the same app - when you place the camera over the language, you'll see the text in English. Great way to also start to learn the local language. Hope that helps!

if i may id just like to add a little to Gwen's great advice ? i would recommend that you stay in a pension within the old town, whilst usually compact rooms they are run by families and regulated by the local council so they are great value for money but the overwhelming reason to stay in one is that the owners are proud of Donostia and will go out of their way to help you, best bars, eating places and where they frequent themselves. ask them if they could take you to a gastronomic society, if they are in the know they might just let you in! take a little time to learn basque culture, they are lovely people, i can recommend the basque history of the world by mark kulanski. you say you are going in spring? then a visit to a cider house is the big one, usualy Friday nights are the best, they are open up until April. finally i can recommend la koxka pension in the old town, she speaks almost every European language. if you do visit id love to know how you get on. john

Tipping in Spain IS customary, just not percentage based. If you enjoy a meal, you round up the bill, increasing the tip amount the more you have enjoyed it.

Actually, it is not customary. You have the option to tip, but it's not required. Coming from the US, however, I always tip rounding up my bill (and then some for excellent service). 😀

how hot does it get in summer and how cold in winter.

Best way to get to saint Sebastian is by plane...but avoid flying!

@CORRTravel

2 ай бұрын

I agree: avoid flying if you can. Ultimately, how you get there should probably be determined on from where you're coming. 2 - 3 hours or less should definitely not require flying. And heads up: Europe is cracking down on shorter flights to promote use of trains and buses. :-)

Wow, you got it so wrong, the best season to visit is winter, specially November, Dicember, the city comes alive and the beach of la Concha is full of light at night, plus there are extras. There is not aerport in Donosti, the nearest one is Loiu-Bilbao. The tickets from the Airport are 10 Euros. The city is far from flat, as you said before is full of mountains.... The essentials... Donostia is tiny... You can walk on heals beleve me, if done it quite a few times.... I also dissagre with stays, the most beautifull part is Ondarreta or Gross. In the top things to do is to visit the palace of the diputation of Gipuzkoa, its not only beautifull and free but full of history, great miss. Another one is la Perla, not cheap but a must, Also, what about the Kursal??? We dont speak french in Donosti, like, nobody speaks french and there is not french anything, there is a lot of anymosity between the Basque Country and France because the whole Euskal Herria. We dont tip in Basque Country... We have Minimun Wage. As a Gipuzkoana I feel this video very uninformative, without any help, no reserch whatsoever. This is my city, and you didnt get one point right. Please check it again.

Thank you for your feedback and your opinions on when the best time to visit is and where to stay. I'm afraid you may have not truly listened to the video content or read the subtitles, but please let me address some of your points: 1) Yes, there is an airport for Donostia-San Sebastian. I should know, I flew into it. Here is a link: www.aena.es/en/san-sebastian.html. And as you can see it is MUCH closer than the Loiu-Bilbao airport. 2) The city CENTER is mostly flat and walkable. Obviously the surrounding mountains in the video show the diversity of the terrain, which I also point out in the video. 3) top things to do: the video is not able to hold ALL of the top things to do, which again, I fully state in the video. If I included all top things to do, the video would last forever. :-) 4) I never said locals speak French. I state you HEAR French in Donostia-San Sebastian as it is so close to the border of France. Plus, if you take time to look at monument, buildings, landmarks and even the signs on the Tourist Information center, things are printed in Spanish, Basque, English AND French. 5) Again, as I stated, tipping in Spain is not common but optional. I have been to Donostia-San Sebastian, obviously. All points in the attempted extensive and comprehensive video I have provided for tourists can be backed up by visiting and online research (should they choose), but I thought it helpful to provide a nice video to give an overview for ease. I invite you to please watch and listen to the video again. Have a great day!

Because she is concerned about the climate? That makes her self-righteous? Self-righteous people actually make condescending and rude comments based on very innocent statements because they are too narrow minded to understand not everyone thinks like them. I certainly hope you aren’t considering moving to Spain or even visiting, you will spend your entire time criticizing the people and the culture, I’m sure.
