Description

Begin with the delicious taste of churros, and watch the dough hit hot oil before it's dusted with sugar. Dunk each piece into thick hot chocolate while your guide gets to know your family and the day ahead. Parents get a coffee and an actual minute to sit down before the walking starts. From there, head into the Old Town, the neighborhood where the city's food reputation was actually born. Kids get an Adventure Booklet and start working through challenges as you pass historic squares and pintxos bars just starting to fill up. Your guide tells two versions of every story: the fun one for the kids, the fuller one for you. Step into one of the city's working food markets, still stocked each morning by the same vendors locals rely on for dinner. At a family-run stall, taste ham and cheese while your guide slips in a few words of Spanish and Basque for the kids to try out. At an Old Town pintxos bar, the whole family gets a plate of the tradition that put this city on the culinary map, tortilla de patatas included. Parents get a drink alongside it, and your guide explains the unwritten etiquette locals use without thinking twice. The morning ends at a pastry/candy shop, where kids choose their own treat from a case of Basque candy, the last challenge of the Adventure Booklet checked off in the process.
