This is a perfect video that manages to recap all the essentials for a solo traveler on a business trip.

[CORRTravel]

San Sebastian makes for amazing Spain solo travel. 🇪🇸 Enjoy! 🍷🏖🍤 AND Subscribe. 😀

Another pro-tip:
Thursday is usually the "Pintxo-Pote" day.
This means that in the leisure areas full of bars you will receive those evenings a free pintxo (each local decides what pintxo serve) with each drink you order.
It's a widespread practice throughout the whole region.

Thanks for an informative video, especially the links to the hotels/hostels/pensions you mentioned for a single on a budget traveller. I will be doing the camino and will take a break in San Sebastian to relax.

[UnbridledFinds]

Thanks for the fantastic video! My husband and I will be visiting for a week and I will be solo often because he will be working so its great to hear all the solo tips!

[paininfashion]

This video is incredible, and so informative. Thank you so much for creating this gem 🙏

[Biodanzero]

Thank you for the very informative travel guide! Love it!

[lab]

Love this video. Plan traveling Basque region this June solo first time by train and appreciate all advice. Thank You.

[EGC]

From one Corr to another, great video!

[puccismile]

Hi. Thank you for this video. Will the E21 bus take me with my luggage? I have 2 large rolling bags.

[joe-zpge]

heading there in may...thanks for this great video

[carlyrachman]

Great video ~ thank you! We will be in Barcelona in September and considering a long weekend in San Sebastián but it overlaps with the film festival. Would you recommend avoiding it then? Not sure if it will be too crowded

[markfortin]

Hi Gwen, thanks for the efficient, encompassing video....I am excited to see San Sebastien next Spring, but I'm concerned about language barriers. Any tips on what communication is like? Menus, hospitality, etc?

[ssttyyllee]

San Sebastian airport is ~25km from the city

[robtanenbaum]

Wonderful, thorough video. What's your suggestion on going to San Sebastian if you are flying into and leaving from Bilbao Airport?

[frankmontague]

❤DONOSTIA IS MAGNIFICENT . JUNE was crowded in places but locals were welcoming. For Value San Sebastian restaurants could charge 25% more to us tourists, and give our tourist contribution to local needs.

[Turningpoint]

I like Spain a lot, I want to visit Spain, I want to go more after watching your video, stay well, thank you.❤❤❤

[frankflex]

how hot does it get in summer and how cold in winter.

[username]

is it safe to live as expat for couple of years with no spanish or basque but only english?

[Gigi-mczb]

Your video shows a lot of cloud. When was this filmed?
