It is a party in which old and young participate and which brings the city together in a way which is rare.⠀

Over the years the way in which is celebrated has been adapting to the times. Now both men and women take part without concealing their gender for historical accuracy, neurodiversity and diversity are embraced, and this year they even stopped the role of the Easo beauty ( traditionally one of the few female roles in the celebrations) due to lack of relevance.⠀

I had a fun time as did children and adults around me...and as usual, I had to run up and down the streets a great deal to call all the kids and adults in my life and take the obligatory photos.⠀

San Sebastian is a very local celebration and i found many tourists looking confused the day after the night before when the streets laid deserted and most bars and restaurants closed... it is however an essential part of the city's calendar and a real equaliser. Playing the drums there is an amazing sense of togetherness which i hope will last for ever.⠀
