1. "DONASTIA" is WRONG -- it should be Donostia, and Donostia is simply the Basque name of San Sebastian, not the Basque name for the new part. 2. The Parte Vieja is not IN the old section -- it IS the old section. 3. I don't know what river that guy was talking about, but the river is called the Urumea River. And, most importantly, Basque is a full and proper language that was spoken in this part of the world before any Indo-Europeans ever made their way over to Spain/France.

Thanks for the clarifications - much appreciated. I will make the necessary changes. Incidentally, the river Turia is in Valencia. I must have mixed up my notes! Cheers.

dialect??????? basque language a dialeg?? oh you have to be more careful with that because it is a big misatke. Is like if you call german dialect. Basque is a language for itself and have nothing similar with spanish or the other languages from spain but it is not a dialect.

This is a grave error, and thanks to those of you listening closely for pointing it out. Honest mistake, but I should know better! But thanks for watching! JR

The Turia is in Valencia.These American kids are a horror. Another planet to the elegance of San Sebastian.

What's so cool about San Sebastian is that it has this wonderful bay that stretches over 2 - 3 kilometers at the most.. The bay has a wonderful sandy beach and my wife and I were astounded by how well kept and clean the beach was. Think of it as a city beach, where you step down from the street to beach level during the day and enjoy the sun and warm water. And once you are done enjoying the sun, climb back up the stairs and walk right into old town for beer, wine, and tapas.

it's nice of you tried to worry about this and want to change it, thank you very much, not all the people do that and want to improve and correct misatkes.
