Like many others, I'm new to Facebook. For a newcomer, searching for your city (Donostia) it's like a logical step and I found this group, not too crowded but interesting: San Sebastian Donostia Gastronomy.
I received the following welcome message: We have only just created this group but will post, Ryan, Martin and I have visited Donostia a number of times and eaten at Mugaritz, Arzak, Martin B, Zuberoa, and our favourite Akelarre.
Our favourite football team in Spain is of course Real Sociedad.
I replied that that list of restaurants is excellent, but, you know, most of the time one doesn't choose those local multi-star Michelin places to dine ;-) I don't know Mugaritz yet, for instance. Rather eat on the cheap, and there's plenty to do that in Donostia as well. My latest find, a Japanese-Basque little cave near home, Txubillo. Interesting food there, I commend it.
On the other hand, regarding Real Sociedad, I cannot agree with my new coleagues at Facebook. I'm just so happy they fell to Division 2 of the Spanish football league... Meanwhile my hometown team Eibar went up from Division 3 (called 2b, really) to 2, so I'll attend an interesting derby against Real next season ;-)
