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 !!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!🇪🇸❤️🧡❤️
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!
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!
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. 😋😋😋
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!
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.
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! ❤️
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!
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
James youre videos are going from strength to strength!! Another great video, informative, great recommendations and also always really respectful to local traditions!
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?
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.
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.
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.
😂 this VIDEO has been a RECORDATORY , of my DAYS in SPAIN 🇪🇸, were I had the PRIVILEGE of visiting SAN SEBASTIAN, and ENJOYING, the PINCHOS ( Spanish) , and its was a DOUBLE DIP , because My ANCESTORS were from the VASCA REGION !!! 😊 ❤
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 :)
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."
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!
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
¡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”.

I have been all around the world and I have never had a better food experience than I had in San Sebastian. The best food tour I have had in my life 100% sure. Northern Spain is just a different level in terms of cuisine level. Amazing. It is true that is a bit expensive compare to other areas in Spain, but it is still 100% worth it.
Incredible the foodie scene in San Sebastian, with Osane a great little dish herself. You will probably notice, that in the "tour" - they show some traditional pintxos bars, one even run by a bloke called Mohamed............. whether that's his "Christian" name is another matter all together, then the lovely Brunette tour guide............. names the cheesecake, an "International Hit", being made in Japan, Turkey & Armenia, places where the traditional "Ancient Iberians" went in their "explorations" - Osane even looks like a young Cher, and James must be a Sunny Sonny in Sunny Spain, or in the Rainy Basque Country. The people of Old Spain, where the "Big Explorers" of the World, in Ancient Times, and in Medieval Times as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you want a clue, check the Ancient languages of Japan, Turkey & Armenia (all of the Caucauses) they are "mingled" with the Ancient Iberian languages of Basque & Iberian, whose ancestors went "Over There" a Long, Long time ago, AND DEFINITELY, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, as some people might be inclined to suggest, SOME BANANAS SCREAMING
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
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!
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!
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)
I love tapas bars and culture but the main problem I always encounter (and please let me know if someone else has seen this) is that the places are always really tiny, really packed and its hard to get the attention from people at the bar because they are so busy. Other than that, I love going for tapas and I will not stop cause of that detail.
Hola James, Love, love love your videos Am planning a trip to Bilbao and San Sabastian in the spring. Can you please advise me on how to make contact with Osana and the “ Princesses “ in Bilbao? Muy agradecido. Daniel
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 :)
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
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.
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.

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

Excellent vlog and your companion is just charming.
I have been all around the world and I have never had a better food experience than I had in San Sebastian. The best food tour I have had in my life 100% sure. Northern Spain is just a different level in terms of cuisine level. Amazing. It is true that is a bit expensive compare to other areas in Spain, but it is still 100% worth it.
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! :)
That sangria looked so refreshing, n I love all the tapas
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.
You're a rockstar James. And that's from an Aussie after the latest All Blacks loss
My wife has genuinely dreamed about the La Vina cheesecake.
It's special.
Had to watch this again! James, can you share the sangria recipe please? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Basque Country has always intrigued me. Its on my Bucket List
You're my favourite food vlogger in the whole world 🌍💙
I ate at Kapadokia when I visited SS in July. So good I went back the next day for the txipighettis again!
Incredible the foodie scene in San Sebastian, with Osane a great little dish herself. You will probably notice,
that in the "tour" - they show some traditional pintxos bars, one even run by a bloke called Mohamed.............
whether that's his "Christian" name is another matter all together, then the lovely Brunette tour guide.............
names the cheesecake, an "International Hit", being made in Japan, Turkey & Armenia, places where
the traditional "Ancient Iberians" went in their "explorations" - Osane even looks like a young Cher,
and James must be a Sunny Sonny in Sunny Spain, or in the Rainy Basque Country. The people of
Old Spain, where the "Big Explorers" of the World, in Ancient Times, and in Medieval Times as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want a clue, check the Ancient languages of Japan, Turkey & Armenia (all of the Caucauses)
they are "mingled" with the Ancient Iberian languages of Basque & Iberian, whose ancestors went
"Over There" a Long, Long time ago, AND DEFINITELY, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, as some
people might be inclined to suggest, SOME BANANAS SCREAMING
Well done mate, see you maybe in Madrid from 7~10 September.
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 :)
Loved the video - San Sebastián is now on my list to travel to
Brilliant video. Thank you 🙏🏽
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!
San Sebastián es sencillamente hermoso
I see you pay through nfc... Do you use Google pay or apple pay? Are both widely used in apain?
James is becoming quite the celeb! Good on ya!
Great video. Thanks so much for this. The food looks amazing.
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
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!
Hands down, La Vina had the best cheesecake I've ever tasted.
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!
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!
One day in the future I hope to visit Spain again and all of its Autonomous Communities.
San Sebastian is worth the visit. I was there for the film festival years ago.
Man, when places get too crowded, it really sucks
Great tips. Curious what time did you visit these places coz it looks like its not too crowded?
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)
I love tapas bars and culture but the main problem I always encounter (and please let me know if someone else has seen this) is that the places are always really tiny, really packed and its hard to get the attention from people at the bar because they are so busy. Other than that, I love going for tapas and I will not stop cause of that detail.
Most of locals rarely go to the parte vieja...from covid it is a tourist only place😢
Superb video
They don’t HAVE to use frozen foods, they choose to. Unfair of any restaurant to use frozen food, aside from ice cream, etc.
Wish u shared the costs along the way
Where do you recommend staying to be close to this area and avoid driving?
i really like this episode
Hola James,

Muy agradecido.

When do Spanish people holiday in Alicante/Benidorm?
I’m heading there on Thursday for the rugby semi finals! Rugby, beer, wine great food, what could go wrong?
Which camera did you use in your video, please?
Can’t wait to be one of those tourists! Lol
Great video. Thank you
How I greet people: "Hi"
the woman in this video: "I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"
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
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 a beautiful lady. Beautiful smile too.
Osaneeee ❤️
Lara My love 🎉😊
