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.
Next, you’ll dive into the fascinating world of Spain’s most famous delicacy: cured Iberian ham. We’ll introduce you to a family-run gem stocked with Basque and Spanish gourmet products. Try two of the most-renowned (and most expensive) cured hams especially chosen by our friend Sylvain. By the time we leave, you’ll have an understanding of the differences between them—and a favorite!

Wonderful small group tour trying 15-20 different things with fun people and a fun guide. Hector knew all the special things to experience and taught us so much. Great night!

Before the tour, we were slightly intimidated going into the busy bars on our own, not really knowing how to order, or what to order and this was an absolutely wonderful introduction into the world of pintxos. Christina, our guide was really knowledgeable and friendly, and the food was exceptional. I don't eat meat, but was catered for brilliantly. The small group was the perfect size to grab a table at a bar, and the amount of food and drink was great. I would absolutely recommend.

Given traffic and unforeseen issues we ran literally 6min late, and I even texted and sent messages and no response from your operator. No attempt to find out where we were and if we could meet at the first stop. Which is literally 50ft away from meeting point.
