Professor Nuñez-Betelu tells the following local legend her mother told her about their hometown:

The origin of the name is not known for sure but legend has it that there was a man who brought St. Sebatian's ashes to the town and therefore they named it after San Sebastian in Spanish. At the same time, the man who brought the ashes came from Ostia, the Italian port town next to Rome, and people referred to him as Don Ostia.

Donosti is a very popular tourist destination and home to the St. Sebastian International Film Festival every September.
