The drum’s day.

Last Monday was San Sebastian's day in the catholic calendar. I live next to San Sebastian city (Donosti in the Euskera language) in the Basque country, and as you may\might suppose it was a party day. The way that they celebrate this party is curious, because this day is also called known as “la tamborrada de San Sebastian”, which can be translated to some thing like this: “the San Sebastian’s day of drums”. Everyone dresses up in a soldier outfit or cook suit, and all of them they all this is more naturall carry a drum. The cooks carry a barrel as a drum. They all join and play together the Sarriegui march in a big drum noise.
San Sebastian is widely known because it’s an international cinema festival, among other things. One of the most typical things are the gastronomic societies. These are groups of people who join up in on special days around a great table and taste their own recipes. And believe me, there these are great chefs and they all enjoy great meals. You only have to search look around this city and to find some of the best chefs in the world, such as Arzak, Berasategui, Subijana, Arguiñano, etc.
So, here there is one thing I have in my agenda classified as “things you have to do at least once in your lifetime”, which consists on getting an invitation to a gastronomic society, buying a cook dress uniform and a drum, learning the Sarriegui march, and enjoying one San Sebastian’s day.
Thanks for reading and correcting me.
