Description

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 classic bars full of local charm 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 a special off-the-menu tasting of tender chipirones (baby squid), 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.
