Gastronomic tour of the Basque Cuisine
Come with me to discover the best food of Basque Country, not a Trip Adivisor list, but a real local experience at the places I normally eat.
The magic of Basque gastronomy lies in minimal intervention. Whether it’s a $200 tasting menu or a $3 pintxo, the philosophy remains the same: find the best product in the world and try not to get in its way. It is a cuisine of fire, salt, and seasonal timing.

Tour Important Information
San Sebastián (Donostia) is the undisputed world capital of the Pintxo, and the best way to experience it is through a "Txikiteo"—a social stroll from bar to bar, enjoying one specialty and one drink at each stop.
Included in this tour, we will consume 5 high quality pintxos and drinks (3 pintxos, 2 drinks, or 5 pintxos, 1 drink etc), including the famous Basque Cheesecake.
Here is a curated gastronomic tour through the Parte Vieja (Old Town) and the trendy Gros neighborhood, featuring the city's most iconic bites and local pairings.
Must-Try: The Gilda. This is the first-ever pintxo created in San Sebastián, a "flavor bomb" of pickled guindilla pepper, salty anchovy, and a Manzanilla olive.
The Drink: Pair it with a Txakoli, the local, slightly sparkling white wine poured from a height to aerate the bubbles.
* Please let me know in advance if you have any food allergies or other dietary restrictions.
