Donostia, his its name and his its traditions.

I live in Donostia-San Sebastian, near the sea. All the Every mornings, I weak wake up and I can see the beautiful city in that I live in. Donostia-San Sebastian is a small and beautiful city in which you can find a lot of things to do. Donostia- San Sebastian has three beaches and a small harbour placed found in the oldest part of the city.

The name of the city is formed by two words, the first of them which is “Donostia,” is the name of the city in the Euskera language. Euskera is the language that people talk speak in Basque Country. It a very difficult language to learn because is not an indoeuropean language. His Its origins aren't related to another language known in Europe. In the history of the language a lot of writers and historians have had a lot of difficulties for discovering his its real origins.

The second part of the name is related to the patron saint of the city, San Sebastian. All day on the 20th of January In his honour, all 20th of January the people of the city go out and play the “tamborrada” with a drum in his honor. The Tamborrada is a typical group of songs that people know, sing and play.

This popular festivity lasts only one day, twenty four hours of music, food, dancings and tamborrada. The People of all ages play these songs, even the children. When I remember ["think about" es mejor aqui] this day in my mind I can find that I have a lot of good memories!

If you have never have been this day in Donostia on this day, I suggest you come here and participate of in our happiness, our music and our delicious meals!!

See you soon ;-)

Muy beuno Ainara. ¡Tu ciudad me parece muy hermosa y divertida!
