Donostia

My own point of view

For a couple of reasons this is not my favorite city in the world. The main one is that I don´t feel safe here (and we come 3-4 times a year).
The political situation in this Autonomic Community is very independent from the rest of Spain, and there are a couple of very violent groups that will do anything to protest against Spain's government.
They usually kill politicians, and people who work for the government. Sometimes they put bombs in tourist areas outside of the Basque Country just to scare. The problem is that there have been several victims that just happened to be passing by and got killed or hurt.
In any case, that is just my point of view and many people do go there to vacation (including me), but I thought you should know I am not the most objective person in this subject and will only post some pics.
