Things to Do in December | San Sebastián

Hoping to make this monthly....I felt like I was lacking a place for worthy events here on the blog. Worthy, in this case, means events that I would personally like to attend.  Totally arbitrary and not based in any scientific fact.

Here is a list of a bit of what is happening in San Sebastián this month (a week late):

• december 10 ::: VERMUTEKE, VOL XVI ::: Another fiesta from the International Society for the Preservation and Enjoyment of Vermut: a remember edition in Sirimiri, with all the cocktails of the last year of vermutekes in Sirimiri, with a Studio 54 theme. (Sirimiri, 19.30, FREE)
• december 12 ::: KANTUJIRA ::: Singing through the streets, in Basque.(Calle Iglesia, 12:00, FREE)
