As someone who lived in Spain for eight years, driving/riding 85.000 kms a year around every aldea, pueblo and ciudad in the country; living in hotels and restaurants, I can say one thing: James and Yoly are the real deal. James' understanding and love of regional Iberian cuisine is infectious, and very impressive for an 'outsider'. This is the best Spanish content you'll find on UA-cam.
❤️❤️❤️
I saw James making this video ! I actually said hello to him in La vina but I wasn’t the guy shaking his hand in the video though. Still a cool experience !!
Hey! We ran into so many die hard James fans during the shooting, it was such an experience to see the community that he has built:) @eatingoutinss
Lucky you!
@@osaneredondovega9747
Entiendo. Extraño mucho la cocina de mi abuela. Algunas comidas reviven esos recuerdos tan especiales q tuve con ella 😭 ❤️
I just have to say that I just returned from Spain (Madrid, Segovia, Ávila, Sigüenza, Granada, Sevilla) and I binged your videos before leaving. I visited Casa Toni and a couple other places you recommended. I am now in love with Spain. Thank you so much for what you are doing. In two years some co-workers and I are going to do the Camino de Santiago and I could not be more excited to return to this beautiful country that you, in a lot of ways, introduced me to. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for doing such a comprehensive video for tourists on San Sebastian. It remains my most favorite place to eat, so I completely understand why locals would be annoyed at rude tourists. I especially loved that I learned a few Basque words. I notice that when I visit Japan or even go to Japanese restaurants here in the states that they appreciate when you say "itadakimasu" or "gochichosama desu." Knowing their language is another form of respect. It's important to know that Spanish isn't the only language spoken in Spain.
That is 👍 right! Spain is such a diverse country and we want to make sure to show it to you guys when you visit :) thank you for watching! @eatingoutinss
Basque country is only "Spain" in the legal sense, it's essentially a separate nation, cultur and ethnicity.
I was lucky enough to never feel like we were eating "tourist" food, when we were in Spain. We tried to eat off the beaten track and ate what was seasonal. The tomatoes! OMG, the tomatoes... I actually cried. Setinel de la bodegas, the best tasting tomatoes. I had never had a white tomato in my life... I adore Spain.
Glad you had a great time Wendy!
James, you mentioned the uncertainty surrounding doing a video about respectful tourism. Dude, you killed it. It suits your already respectful and empathetic approach to tourism. Your knowledge of Spain just shines and I love the conversations with local people working in hospitality. More of this! We have a trip booked to SS for July 2023 and all of these tips are gonna be so helpful in enhancing our experience and making sure we aren't obnoxious travelers.
I'm sure you will blend right in :) @eatingoutinss
Bienvenidos a Donostia en 2023!! 😉
So glad you enjoyed it Kirsty!
I love the basque country so beautiful
Went on a tour with Osani in June 2022. What a gracious, proud, knowledgeable and beautiful woman! Took us to many of the same places. Some of the best food I have had in my life.such a fun evening in SS.
Hi Julius! I love running into my guests, it has just never happened online until now haha! Hope you enjoyed out Devour tour 🙌 @eatingoutinss
Have always loved Spain and the lifestyle but because of your channel and your tours I love it more please keep it going
San Sebastian is literally one of the few top notch heavens on Earth 🇪🇦💫
I vacationed each summer as an American child in San Sebastian with my Basque cousins. We had a hard time adjusting to California again afterward, just not the same quality if foods and activities! A truly great video James!
A talented cook isn't one who can follow an existing recipe but one who can cook with the available ingredients... My mother was like that. 🥰
That is right! @eatingoutinss
Wow. Osane. She was our guide back in 2018 when we first when to San Sebastián. Now we get there at least every year. Of course we hit all the spots she recommended. All the food was incredible and she taught us a lot about the culture and some history. It was great to learn which pintxos are a specialty for the restaurant and bar so we only got the best tastes! We have fond memories of Osane entertaining our son so we could relax a little and enjoy our food and drink. eskerrik asko Osane!
I remember you of course! We visited la cuchara de San Telmo and i felt like you guys could use some alone time ;) glad you are coming back!
Dude! Your videos have leveled up...way up this summer. Hope you get much much more success!
This was a spectacular tour! My mouth was watering. I was in San Sebastián briefly, long before it was so very popular among the multitudes, and loved it. I was also a guest of friends in Victoria during festival and had the best food in their home and out. The wine, the pintxos, the vascos, everything is wonderful and delicious. 😋😋😋
James youre videos are going from strength to strength!! Another great video, informative, great recommendations and also always really respectful to local traditions!
Yes! We made sure to talk about the elephant in the room ☺️ @eatingoutinss
James' videos are always a plus. It's not just food but so so much more - well done and thank you!
Thank you so much ✨ @eatingoutinss
I really liked this video. It was interesting to hear about what’s going on in San Sebastián. Great information.
Love it, love it, love it!!! 💞 My favirit city from the world!!! I was already 3 times there, especially for the pintxos, for txakuli, the vibe, the beaches, the people...... Everything!!! Thanks for this amazing vlog! ❤️
Recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching all your vids for days. Spain is an amazing place and your love, passion, and enthusiasm for that country shows in every vid. Hoping to make there this year!
Doing the exact same thing after the Mark Wiens video with James. Love the energy and optimism in every video! Trying to determine the perfect month to eat and travel my way through Spain without the crowds.
Same here, u echo my sentiments precisely!
Welcome aboard, Neil. James and Yoli are extremely knowledgeable and very gracious (l’ve had the pleasure of meeting them). They do Spain and Madrid a great service in bringing it to the world.
October is a great month. Or March/April :)
Welcome Neil!
Brilliant overview of an amazing place. I just want to go back, and surely will. I used to do this every evening after lessons in 1971 and obviously it just gets better. I love these videos James, best regards to Yoli and your gorgeous daughter!
Finally! mostly seafood and beef, what an adventure. I only visit locations during low season, love rainy/cloudy/cold climate so not only do I get what I am searching for, I also get less crowds, better prices on travel expenses and just like it was said in the video "A more personalized experience" specially if you go in the first place with an open mind and heart. That being said, I am waiting until all this pent-up covid travel surplus energy dissipates before I resume my travels. Excellent video and what an amazing local host who just opened her heart without hesitation. Thank you James!
Thanks you for appreciating the local tips ;) @eatingoutinss
Be carefull. If you come in here in low season you might be greated with heavy rain and wind during your whole visit 😅.
@@oiermontero2310 nothing would make me happier, I love stormy weather
Thanks for suggesting the app and to Osane for the book! Such a great town...
I feel osane, my nan is half spanish, she would always tell me if you are going to cook cook it love because you are sharing this food to people you love. Ariba España! Te quiero mucho!🇪🇸❤️🧡❤️
I think I just squealed when I realized I caught your video on the day it was released. The owner of the company I work for is going to Spain for the first time in the fall (to Ribera del Duero), and she asked me to put together tips and ideas for making a side trip to San Sebastian. Your video series on SS is about to become required viewing for her. Thank you for all your "fact finding missions."
I've noticed an uptick in the quality of the editing and with the same great content and presentation it makes for a very engaging video. Really excited to see what you guys have coming next
I appreciate that! Yeah, we've been working hard to the editing and the videos. I'm glad it's starting to be noticeable.
I would love to see more trips with this guide! Great video!
Thanks Dr Fig :) @eatingoutinss
Over Here From Your Marks video. I think you made the best possible video with Marc great vibes keep it up🙌🏽
San Sebastián es una ciudad muy bonita y donde, efectivamente se come muy bien. Un poco cara, eso sí.
Ojalá que algún día decidáis hacer un vídeo en Zaragoza, donde también se come muy bien y es una ciudad con 2.000 años con mucho por ver. Llegó a ser conocida como la Florencia española por la cantidad de palacios renacentistas, iglesias y conventos. Muy desconocida para el turista extranjero e incluso para el nacional.
What an amazing video, loved it!
I live the other side of the border in France and regularly go to San Sebastian - I love the place. Thanks to this video I'll be going back there more enlightened :)
If you wanna keep updated check @eatingoutinss
We love all the tips about respecting locals while traveling to place like San Sebastian dealing with over tourism. These will really help people who still want to visit and experience all the delicious food without contributing more to the problem.
All the pintxos had us wanting to move back to Spain. The food in Germany hasn't been nearly as good 😭
Fantastic video as always, James! Can't wait for the next!
Yes! Remember that you can visit all 12 months of the year ;) @eatingoutinss
Cheers guys! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
heyy I know that girl!!!!!! We played with several other people in a laser tag match ones. I would love to see you James for one around my city San Sebastian. Thanks for making honor to our city by trying to promote turism in a healthiter way. I personally thing that we need to promote other areas in the basque country so the tourist would be more spread out.
Great video. Thanks so much for this. The food looks amazing.
Lived there from 05 - 2017 . Loved every minute! Nice to see Jose Louis from Bar sport in your video. I met my xwife in that bar . I ended up living with a Basque family for years . God I miss it!
Wow, James, another great video. I already had San Sebastian on my list of places to visit, but this cemented it for me. I cannot wait to taste every corner of Spain.
You will find useful info about the city and beyond here :) @eatingoutinss
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a wonderful introduction to the etiquette of pinxos in San Sebastian! Thanks, James!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That sangria looked so refreshing, n I love all the tapas
You're a rockstar James. And that's from an Aussie after the latest All Blacks loss
visited donostia this year in january and truly had some the most amazing food I've ever tried! Can't wait to go back soon
Hit me up or check my tips if you do! @eatingoutinss
My wife has genuinely dreamed about the La Vina cheesecake.
It's special.
Loved the video - San Sebastián is now on my list to travel to
i have traveled and covered all the major areas in Spain and several times of some of them. I love everywhere I have been. Finally I visited San Sebastian and Bilbao at the end of last year. I do not know why I felt loving that city a pinch more, LOL Even people mentioned that it is wet in Winter in the Atlantic coastal city.It does not bother me at all. Pintxos there are so incredible for all the places I had been.
Well done mate, see you maybe in Madrid from 7~10 September.
You're my favourite food vlogger in the whole world 🌍💙
Hands down, La Vina had the best cheesecake I've ever tasted.
Love your videos and the great tips you provide. A refreshing change from many other channels. My wife and I are visiting San Sebastián in 10 days time- which tapas bars or restaurants MUST we visit?
James- are you able to suggest which tapas bars or restaurants are a MUST visit in San Sebastián?
We were in one of those bars in May 22,drove from Brighton UK all the way to Madrid,the food is amazing in San Sebastian,we going again this summer .
Hi, I’m from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Love your channel and it would be more exciting to see videos on dessert, pastries & shopping area at Barcelona & Madrid too😊
I thought this would be dreadful, but I ended up finding it incredibly interesting. Thanks for coming up with new and interesting ideas for content James.
I'm glad, thanks for watching!
James is becoming quite the celeb! Good on ya!
I wonder how you got up off the floor after that cocido with Mark Wiens. 😅🤣That was epic. San Sebastian will always be my fave city in Spain.
Love this! Is there any way you can show/share the Basque cooking society. I recall seeing randomly , the groups , mostly men, cooking in a group and would like to know more.
I'm working on it!
Loved the visit to the place where the woman didn't want to be seen. The words about preserving places like this is important is so true. It is preservation of the culinary culture. The mass touristy places are NOT culinary culture. It's the handmade, artisanal, often hidden places that are the places and traditions worth keeping alive. If not, then all destinations will start to look alike. Well done for including this!
Best thing is no tourism?
Excellent vlog and your companion is just charming.
I mostly familiar with the south of spsin( I have relatives in tarifa) , but San sebastian it's on my list.
Great video and food!
Check my tips on the city @eatingoutinss :)
Great tips. Curious what time did you visit these places coz it looks like its not too crowded?
Nosotros vamos el sabado proximo y estamos muy emocionades 🎉
Lovely Osane 💗. Congratulations for the video, James, great job, wonderful tips! I know her but I don't know you, you look nice too :). Those bars are so familiar to me, coming here to visit family & friends all Winters.
Thanks for the message🌈 dear Ana
Had to watch this again! James, can you share the sangria recipe please? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Basque Country has always intrigued me. Its on my Bucket List
I ate at Kapadokia when I visited SS in July. So good I went back the next day for the txipighettis again!
The fact that you didn't include prices worries me a bit. 😂
I'm heading to the North at the end of next month, but only have a day to explore San Sebastián. It's going to be tough to fit it so much food in a single day!
Fantastic foods up there, the drinks take 3 minutes to prepare, prices are good too, I love it, been there few years back in the days
Totally agree!
Man, when places get too crowded, it really sucks
San Sebastian is worth the visit. I was there for the film festival years ago.
They don’t HAVE to use frozen foods, they choose to. Unfair of any restaurant to use frozen food, aside from ice cream, etc.
I was already missing you, James! Thanks and say Hi to you beautiful and simpática friend and of course to your wife and daughter :)
Cheers Bill! :)
¡Saludos, James! Gracias por otro reportaje informativo. Es interesante que (según tu presentación) la ciudad de San Sebastián recibe el golpe de tantos turistas. Como dijiste, es la culpa de los culinarios tan hábiles que ya son famosos por el mundo. También, me encanta tu selección de música que acompañó este vídeo. Creo que es “Asturias”. Soy profesora de español recién jubilada de los EE UU. Mis estudiantes del bello idioma castellano siempre entraban en mi sala de clase con un saludo por la música hispana, sea de Espańa o de la América Latina. Siempre tocaba la pieza “Asturias” para crear un ambiente calmado los días del examen. Visito a España cada año porque no soy hispanohablante de nacimiento. ¡Necesito la práctica! ¡Hasta el próximo vídeo! De Elaine la profe de NJ, EEUU
Tu castellano es excelente
Precisamente yo iba a comentar como vasca que la música (aunque me encanta, escucho guitarra clásica a cada rato en mi casa) podía haber sido música tradicional vasca y no española. Un poco de txalaparta, trikitixa...
Pero excelente video James, se nota que a Yoli y tú os encanta el País Vasco ♥️
La composicion de musica en el video es "Capricho Arabe" de Tarregas
@@nalagrz5773 Gracias por el cumplido. Salgo el 20 de septiembre para Madrid y otros lugares dentro de España. Pienso pasar dos.semanas ahogándome en el bello idioma castellano y hablar lo más que pueda. Es difícil abandonar lo que me llevo en el corazón ya que estoy jubilada.
Which camera did you use in your video, please?
Superb video
I see you pay through nfc... Do you use Google pay or apple pay? Are both widely used in apain?
The line (queue) to go in BAR NESTOR before it is open is likely people reserving the best tortilla in San Sebastian (imho). Only one made per lunchtime and one per early evening
Yep, that's exactly what it is 🤯 @eatingoutinss
One day in the future I hope to visit Spain again and all of its Autonomous Communities.
Great video. Thank you
Hi, James! Great video despite the circumstances. You made the best of it, so kudos to you! Now one request: what about Bilbao? It's not just the Guggenheim museum, you know? Thanks a lot!
Hello! :) May I interview you about cost of living, spending, budgeting and other personal finance related stuff in Spain? Also my any chance you will be in barcelona on sept 13-22 would be there that time would glad to do it live with you if not, zoom would be great as well :)
bravissimo, sebastian my best place in spain, expecially for food. saluti.
When do Spanish people holiday in Alicante/Benidorm?
i really like this episode
Living here now originally from London. I wish i moved here sooner. Best food in the world! Get some steaks in you next time you come!
Where do you recommend staying to be close to this area and avoid driving?
Wish u shared the costs along the way
I studied in San Sebastian 1993-1995 and to go for pintxos you went to Gros, or you knew how to navigate in "Parte Vieja". In those days "parte vieja" was quite scruffy and hippie for the most part, certainly not a established food destination in the city
Please show about the used furniture business in spain? What's involved in buying something second hand? Are there 2nd hand shops? How about a tour? Where would you buy home goods? (Other than Ikea)
Great informative blog James,what is the average cost of a Pintxos
About 3-6 euros
Its really around 2€-3€ outside of Michelin starred restaurants or th city center. I would say a 6€ would be a really pricy pintxo
That's a good point!
San Sebastián es sencillamente hermoso
Can’t wait to be one of those tourists! Lol
What a beautiful lady. Beautiful smile too.
Beautiful Spain
Not Spain, Vasc Country please..

So: which is better, pintxos or tapas? (ducks quickly)...
Why choose? You can get both! @eatingoutinss
San Sebastian is the best city in the world for quality food.
I just booked a trip to San Sebastian for June, now I'm worried it will be crowded and we're not wanted there lol. I should have watched this video first. Doh!
June is ok! August is bad :)
@@spainrevealed I love yyour channel, going to Lisbon, Madrid, Logroño, Haro, Bilbao, and San Sebastian and using all of your content to help plan.
Omg she is so nice!
Are the restaurants you visited open during the off season?
A lot of them are, they just take different days of the week off. Mondays and Tuesdays are slow days in off season and they normally take turns, so in low season maybe avoid those days. There's always so much to choose from, though. We're so spoiled hehe. I can keep you guys updated @eatingoutinss
I’m heading there on Thursday for the rugby semi finals! Rugby, beer, wine great food, what could go wrong?
I live here, the locals feel that the city caters only for the tourists and that the local government has forgotten about them. Many families living here have to look for another place to stay when it's tourist season so that the accommodation can be rented out to tourists. Very sad and unfortunate, this place has turned into Marbella.
What is that Be rez ko liquor that went into the sangria?
Patxarana or Pacharán. A blackthorn based liquor
@@osaneredondovega9747 thank you!
Great video. Cheesecake? NYC BABY
¿Parte vieja?, "Alde Zaharra" ... please.
