2nd of September - Donostia
Although carnivals are held across the world, the ones that are held in many of the Basque Country’s villages are very special. You can still find carnivals that are deeply rooted in Basque traditions and Mother Earth.
The Antiguo district has it all: Ondarreta beach, the Wind Comb sculpture, Palacio Miramar ... and some of the tastiest pintxos in the entire city!
We follow the River Urumea and arrive in Amara, the city's sports district. This is famous because it's home to the Real Sociedad Stadium, and so if you're keen on football, it's a good option for you. There's a fantastic atmosphere there before and after the game.
The Gros district is youthful and modern, with its aura of surfing, concerts and terraces. When we go to have a few pintxos around Gros, it's not uncommon to meet barefoot surfers making their way to Zurriola beach.
Donostia's old town is a genuine treasure trove for those yearning for history, architecture and, of course, our pintxos. There are as many styles of pintxos as there are bars.
