Thank you for drawing attention to the best parts of everyplace you go. Your previous episodes in the French and Italian Rivieras convinced me that it must be the best place to live. Now you are bring light to northern Spain that I had considered too cold and windy (yet delicious). This episode was especially well composed and narrated. Wow.
did you a tour guide/travel agent? if so, which one?
I had heard San Sebastian was spectacular, be seeing your video, it's even better than I had imagined! Thanks!
❤ SANTANDER, SPAIN nearby is Precious. BILBAO is very worthy… and SAN SEBASTIAN you are making me ❤.
👏 MY FAVORITE TRAVELERS. You bring me new ideas even in places I thought I knew.

Beautiful video, incredible narration and photography. It shows when people enjoy what they do. That's a region of Spain I want to visit. Maybe in my next trip to Spain. I also want to do all the litoral Cantábrico and Galicia's Atlantic coast. Good travels and thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us.
Very nice video. My son has visited San Sebastián and really liked it and now I see why. I was hoping we would cross paths with you when we move to Nice in September, but we’ll look forward to your future videos.
Looks fantastic, but expensive.
Great videos on San Sebastián… you captured it all… the beautiful people, the youthfulness, how active it is… the greenery, the hills, the ocean, the waves, the beaches, the rocks… the sophisticated shops, how cosmopolitan and yet how quaint it is… and so clean… love love love it! And the Basque Cheesecake!
Very magic great views great 👍 🇲🇦🇲🇦
❤ REWATCHING YOUR VIDEO after 3 weeks in San Sebastian, Donostia Euskadi 🎉 and YOU CAPTURE PERFECTLY what we love 💕. (So we're here in JULY tourist season — it's still Lovely and now want to return again soon)
Do you have long-term EU visa? or residents of EU country?
❤ WHICH NEIGHBORHOOD would you choose IF you stayed for months+ ?
It's nice to see a video about Donosti that doesn't use flamenco as background music.
Is that border collie your dog?
She/He appears in many of the segments.
