Description
Taste the real San Sebastián on a 3-hour pintxos adventure with a local guide. Skip the tourist traps and discover legendary bars, an authentic cider house, and unforgettable Basque flavors.
San Sebastián's food scene is a language of its own, and for 3 hours, you'll become fluent. Led by an expert local guide, this tour is your passport to the city's most authentic flavors. We'll bypass the crowds and take you deep into the trendy Gros district and the historic Old Town, sharing the secrets of the legendary family-owned taverns and Michelin-recommended gems that define Basque culinary culture.
This is more than a tour; it’s an immersion into the tradition of txikiteo (the art of bar-hopping). You'll discover the thrill of an authentic cider house, catching cider as it streams from the barrel. Your palate will journey from the earthy richness of foie gras mushrooms to the creamy perfection of classic croquetas, all washed down with crisp, local Txakoli wine. The experience culminates with a taste of history: the original pantxineta pastry from the city’s oldest bakery, a recipe beloved for over a century.
