Eating San Sebastian: Beyond Pintxos Tour
Overview
San Sebastian’s reputation as the best food city in the world is deserved. On this walking food & wine tour, we’ll show you why.
In three hours, you’ll experience true Basque cuisine across two iconic neighborhoods: trendy Gros and the historic Old Town, where pintxos culture was born. Your local guide will introduce you to family-owned bars and world-renowned dining spots alike, each offering flavors that tell the story of Basque culinary heritage.
From perfectly paired Mosto spritz to the sweet finale of traditional pantxineta, every bite connects you to centuries of tradition. You’ll discover the sagardotegi (cider house) experience, master the art of txikiteo, and understand how locals perfected these flavors long before the world took notice.
