We’ll start at a bar that’s been a local favorite since the 1970s. Here you’ll try a selection of the best mussels in town with dry Basque cider. Master pouring cider from a height straight into your glass and learn all about the cultural phenomenon of “TXOTX!” This traditional stop will be your first introduction into what going out for pintxos really means in San Sebastian.

    We really enjoyed this tour. Weather was terrible, rainy, but the tour and food/wine experience was so good it made up for the weather. Hector was our guide and was very knowledgeable about San Sebastián history. He made the experience so much fun.

    Highly recommend this food and wine walking tour! Gabrielle was amazing and we learned so much. We would not have been able to navigate pintxos without doing this tour first. Make sure to book this tour your first day in San Sebastián.
