Real Sociedad

by Prasnjavi

The most popular sport in Donostia is, of course, footbal. In every coffee bar, shop, restaurant... we saw some picture of Real Sociedad Football Club which is from Donostia. Darko Kovacevic, Serbian, is one of the best player in Real.

I don't have much pictures...

I don't have much pictures from San Sebastian due to the short time we stayed there, but picked up a beautiful brochure from the hostel and I'd like to show the beautiful pictures it has and the activities suggested in it. So most of the pics appearing here are not mine but the ones from in the leaflet...

"Getting to San Sebastian"

Of all the places I visited in the north of Spain, I had the hardest time finding lodging in San Sebastian. I spent HOURS (and a lot of euros) calling all the hostels that I could find in the area. I even started hotels out of my desired price range in desperation. I had planned on starting my vacation here, driving directly from Valencia (where I was living) and then heading west to Galicia. I had to go to Bilbao first and then head to San Sebastian due to the problems we had finding housing. After a few days with NO luck whatsoever, we finally got a break. I called an ad I saw on loquo.com. A woman was renting out rooms in her apartment for $25 euros a night. We were in luck. We were thinking about staying only 2 nights, but when we heard that Bob Dylan (and Macaco- one of my favorite Spanish groups) were going to be performing a free concert on Gros beach in San Sebastian (across the street from where we were staying) we ended up staying for a total of 4 nights. Out of all the places we visited, we definitely partied the most here. We left in a haze thanking God that we made it out alive. But we had a great time.

Forget Bilbao. Bilbao was probably one of the ugliest cities in the world until the latest architectural wonders were built. Museum Guggenheim Bilbao, Euskalduna Auditorium and the recently inaugurated airport have placed Bilbao on the spotlight. Bilbao was even the set for one of James Bond movies for Christ sakes!!
No I'm here to talk about his Basque rival, the city of San Sebastian. I'm amazed that such a beautiful city is not included on the list of cities. More so if dumps such as Aviles or Ceuta actually are.
San Sebastian has lots to offer and tourists will not be desapointed. Ask anyone in Spain which city is the prettiest and chances are San Sebastian is among them. Same goes for cooking. San Sebastian has probably the most Michelin stars concentration in the world (based on population). Alumni from local cuisine schools often season thenselves with some of the very best chefs in the world. Beaches, promenades, hiking... make your pick!!
