Donastia is the Basque word for San Sebastian.
Unpretentious is the best English word to describe the food culture there.
Because of restaurants like Arzak, Mugaritz and Extebarri it is to my mind the best place to eat in the world. We also experienced Jatetxea at the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
Barcelona comes close with places like Sauc and Commerc 24, but San Sebastian can't be topped especially when you throw in the tapas experience. After all, this is a town of 150,000 (same size as Chattanooga) and to be able to go into a tiny bar, have a glass of wine and have 5 different small dishes prepared by an alumnus of El Bulli is amazing.
Specific notes to follow.

It would be hard to argue - waiting to read about your experiences.
