Absolutely gorgeous. The sunlight looks so good there.

Beautiful city and Basque culture, Spain is a marvel of different cultures and ethnicities.

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.

Loved it just got back and already miss it.

Lovely place and the beach is to die for : )

I've been to San Sebastian. Gorgeous! I'd love to go back soon.

wow nice walking. great street view

Rick, I am so glad you are on KZread! I had some of your shows on VHS tapes, and was going to convert them to mpg files. After a few moves, I have yet to find them! Now, I can get them here. Thank you!

i love how the presence of marijuana tolerance in certain countries is not denied in rick steve's europe.

Very appealing city! I only knew it from football until now.

I've been there in 2007! God, how I wish to get there again!

Rick you need to check out Cassis near Marseilles and Les Calanques. Fabulous little sea town and French fjords

I travel there next month..October..thank you for this video

Check your sources. Hannibal soldiers who defected were Celtiberians, specifically "carpetanos", and did not migrate to the current Basque Country, but they turned from the eastern Pyrenees and returned home (Tito Livio, History of Rome from its foundation XXI, 23, 4 - 6).

I'm subscribing based on this video alone!

Go to Romania, Rick!

That's where my surname comes from! Lazalde!

El rechazo a la independencia aumenta en el País Vasco, según el Euskobarómetro PEDRO GOROSPE|Vitoria | 20-12-2019 - 21:00 CET = 28%

If you want independence, acknowledging the fact that we are unfortunately part of Spain is the first step, don't you think? Confusing foreigners by saying, without further explanation, that "this is not Spain" will not magically change anything.

basques are spanish!! I´m basque and spanish

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.

You know a man is intelligent if he has nothing against a little herbal relaxation ;)). Wish it was legal to grow it in Croatia too. Maybe one day...

LOL square-looking guy promoting the pot shop!!!

Rick Steves is on the board for NORML

@MilkDrinkerIntl It is ;)

Soy inglés pero estudio español desde hace 3 años y me encantaría ir a estudiar a San Sebastián el año que viene. ¿Con qué frecuencia hablas euskera? y lo hablas más que el castellano? Es que mi intención es mejorar mi castellano en vez de aprender euskera. En cuanto a la maría, no sabía yo que en España está permitido el cultivo en pequeñas cantidades para consumo personal. Cada día se aprende algo nuevo. Un saludo!

Regarding Euskera, well, is the oldest language in Western Europe's oldest, the only pre-Indo, and together with the Finnish and Hungarian the only one not descended from Latin.And finally, to talk about genetics, I recommend the study of population genetics of Dr. Bryan Sykes, called "The Seven Daughters of Eve" to appreciate the great antiquity of the Basque population. A greeting.

enfin9440 Yes, very interesting. Thanks for the book recommendation.

yeeahh so come here

so what is the true name of the region? I know that Spain has given it a name but what do the indigenous people call it?

@cuntsgab Not sure if you are aware, but Rick Steves has been a public advocate for marijuana use for some time.

Me too.

San Sebastian is not exactly a small town. It survives because of its tourism; it is a service-based city. So yeah, without tourists it would lose its charm.

First thing i'd do is to grow my Pot Plants if i ever decided to Relocate to San Sebastian, far - far - far away from the restrictive US feds.

It wasn't a 1830 fire, the English burned it to the ground in 1812

Seems like a lovely place, but the sun is just too hot for me.

The ghost of Spookwagen It gets 1600 mms of rain every year, one of the wettest cities in Europe plus temperature tends to be mild all year round.

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.

El problema Aitor, es la propia forma de pensar. Hablar de "vascos" como entes diseminados y confusos, sin origen, casi surgidos por esporas, y después de un todo, una madre patria llamada "España" al que esos elementos pertenecen "de toda la vida". El problema no es ni España ni Euskal Herria como concepto, sino la España uniforme, centralizada y en definitiva falsa que la mayoría política y periodística busca imponer. Realmente muchos vascos no saben lo que es el Pueblo Vasco, ni siquiera que eso exista. Se ha inculcado un amor irracional por la idea de la España indisoluble y sin embargo a muchos vascos no les importa que haya un territorio llamado País Vasco-francés o Ipar Euskal Herria con el que no tengamos apenas relación cultural, económica o política. Que la propia lengua vasca, que muchos vascos odian del mismo modo irracional, este en peligro de desaparición desde el año 2006. No importan las violaciones de competencias estatutarias, el absoluto desconocimiento en todos los ordenes de nuestra lengua, historia, creencias primitivas etc.... Eso a muchos vasco-españoles les da igual. Por ellos lo vasco puede pudrirse y desaparecer a mayor gloria de la España uniforme, la de toros y sevillanas, tricornio, monarquía, catolicismo, himno sin letra y bandera bicolor. En definitiva, el Pueblo Vasco o Euskal Herria, término que los vascos llevamos empleando desde que tengamos constancia escrita el año 1564 para definir a nuestra nación, puede merecer o no ser un estado soberano, eso es discutible, el problema es el adoctrinamiento sufrido por la sociedad vasca hasta el extremo de desconocer y odiar todo derecho o elemento cultural vasco que la constitución española de turno no reconoce.

Please tell the Basque government to tell the house owner to release house for rent, not everyone has money to buy thanks

If you want independence, acknowledging the fact that we are unfortunately part of Spain, and have been for many years, is the first step, don't you think? Confusing foreigners by saying, without further explanation, that "it is invaded by Spanish people" will not magically change anything. It is also historically inaccurate. It's not that the opposite is true, that we are all ethnically Spanish, but what you said is still so simplistic that is not true.

rick steves, the coolest marijuana advocate there is

I live there,thank you and we are not spanish we are basques

this is not spain is the basque country

Bueno "Jaime García" si estás tan convencido que ud. es vasco empiece por cambiarse el nombre y el apellido....sobretodo el apellido que es 100 español!!!....tampoco estoy de acuerdo en muchas cosas con los españoles como la monarquía,las corridas de toros,la superficialidad de la sociedad,la falta de apego por la industriosidad de la sociedad,etc....pero estoy convencido que sin España y antes Roma uds. los vascos definitivamente serían una zona desconocida sin contenido ni cultural ni social como Andorra u otros estados ridículos de Europa!!!!

En la caverna vive tu España y su gobierno, aquí hemos sido siempre vascos y se ha hablado el euskera,fue Vasconia,luego resistió al imperio romano y a los visigodos después,fue parte den reino de Navarra patria nacional de los vascos, ahora nos han separado dos estados,en la actual comunidad vasca,el país vasco norte,Biarritz,etc...y la Navarra sin en territorio norte de baja navarra .Mañana este país,esta nación de hombres y mujeres de todos los sitios sera EUSKAL HERRIA!solo pedimos lo que se ejerció en Escocia, Derecho a decidir!Autodeterminazioa!

Jaime Garcia los aplastaron todos sin compasión fueron y serán agricultores, no tienen nada que reclamar....a Francia no se le atreven a reclamar nada primero porque son un estado más firme;los mataría a todos sin piedad por la integridad de su territorio; y segundo porque no les conviene porque también son más prósperos los franceses.....hasta las costumbres taurinas de la vasconia del sur del país galo son de origen español....también la palabra que refiere en vasco "autodeterminación" es de origen español y grecorromano....no tienen derecho a reclamar nada!!!....Escocia no quiso saber nada con la autodeterminación.....les conviene ser ingleses en vez de escoceses....tienen el mismo idioma y el mismo origen racial y cultural a pesar de los conflictos del pasado con Inglaterra.....!!!!

The problem with these video's is tourist flock to these towns and ruin the charm

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
