Dozens of young people first approached San Sebastian

21

years ago

11 August 2003,

Donostia was first approached by dozens of young people. They disobediently overcome the municipal prohibitions of space use. At the beach, Municipal Guard agents came to request identification. They didn't do it, and as a protest, they threw the boats into town hall. Today the San Sebastian Pirates intend to organize popular parties based on transformative values.
