Pintxos Bar Crawl

Eating tapas, or pintxos as they are called in Basque country, is an unforgettable experience for your mouth. Here in San Sebastian it is the only way to eat, and the best way to go about doing it is to sample different pintxos at every bar on the street. So, it really is a social event as well. Many times bars will have a specialty, so be sure to try only one or two at a time! Seafood is common as San Sebastian is a port city, but if you don’t like seafood, don’t worry, there are plenty of other options. Pintxos are served on top of a piece of bread and are displayed on the bar top, ready for your choosing. The best ones are in the Old Town, which is the second oldest neighborhood in the city, and is sandwiched between a river and the bay.

San Sebastian is Spain’s culinary capital, and in 2016 won the European Capital of Culture prize, which is awarded to cities in order to bring Europeans closer together by highlighting the richness and diversity of cultures as well as their common heritage. Hemmingway himself once described San Sebastian as a good place to get to grips with oneself, and then to have some serious fun!
