- Donostia (in Basque language or Euskara) or San Sebastián (in Spanish) is a city located on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and 20 km away from the French border. The city is the capital of Gipuzkoa, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country.
The city architecture was mainly influenced by Clasicist style and later the French Belle Epoque style, after becoming a resort town for royalty at the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th century.
The main economic activities are commerce and tourism, being one of the most famous tourist destinations in Spain. Despite the city's small size, international events such as the San Sebastián International Film Festival have given it an international dimension.
San Sebastián, along with Wrocław, Poland, will be the European Capital of Culture in 2016.

What a beautiful city!! Thank you for sharing.
In Donostia - San Sebastián there are two official languages: Basque and Spanish, and both are usually spoken. Due to its proximity to the French border, French language is commonly understood. And also English is a language that many people can use. So you'll have no problem with language.
And, about the weather, it's not impossible to see snow in winter but it's certainly unusual. Its proximity to the sea brings to the city a nice climate.
I love the unique building corners in Centro.
Donostia, donde está mi corazón...
Que Esplendor que otras imágenes y fotos y vídeos se pueden hacer PUBLICO desde San Sebastián
I lived in Zarauz like a year and a half. All social life goes on in the street and in bars. You and your grupo enter a bar. Everybody orders what they wish while they hang there for not long. Then off to the next. Later its dinner then a couple more upscale clubs. Finish into the wee hours at a basement disco. Couple hours of sleep before work. home shower and "a la calle" again. People walking the paseo along the beach all night long.
superb video, I visited donostia, it reminded me of the south western British Isles, with the rain also
Hermoso video y más por la música. Felicidades! Gracias por compartir!

Espectacular video sobre una hermosa ciudad. La música muy buena. Me gustaría saber cuál es el tema sinfónico coral que cierra el video. Agradezco si alguien sabe y conoce cuál es y quién lo interpreta. La música acompaña y le da clima a las imágenes. Muy bueno
La última canción se llama "Txoria Txori" del cantautor vasco Mikel Laboa, interpretada por el Orfeón Donostiarra. Muchas gracias por tus bellos comentarios.
Muchísimas gracias a vosotros

To much rain and people that don't smile. Go one day and get out. Go to logrono and get better food,nicer people, and much,much, cheaper
+Jl Higs, a very neutral opinion, very very neutral and objective. I guess in your city people are all day with a smile on their lips. What is that paradise of happiness?
Yeah, in Logroño everybody laughes all the time, that's why you have nothing else to laugh at and you come here to make stupid comments. You must have a really boring Life.
