Eating San Sebastian: Beyond Pintxos Tour

About this activity

San Sebastián has a reputation as one of the best food cities in the world, and this three-hour small-group walking tour through Gros and the Old Town shows you exactly why.

With a max group of 10 guest, you'll work your way through five family-run bars and bakeries, sitting down for six tastings and four drink pours, including a hands-on pintxo-making moment and the region's traditional poured cider. Your local guide threads the tastings together with stories of Basque daily life, past 'Belle Époque' landmarks, and through the market square where locals still do their shopping.

The route finishes at San Sebastián's oldest bakery, in business since 1886, for the pastry the city has loved for generations!
