    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!!

    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 CZcams 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.

    • @DaysWeSpend

      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.

    • @DaysWeSpend
      @DaysWeSpend  Před 3 měsíci

      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!

  • @brianthemennonite
    @brianthemennonite Před rokem +2

    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.

    • @DaysWeSpend
      @DaysWeSpend  Před rokem

      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.

    Do you have accommodation tips?

    • @DaysWeSpend
      @DaysWeSpend  Před 10 měsíci

      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).

    • @DaysWeSpend
      @DaysWeSpend  Před 10 měsíci

      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.
