We will not discover anything new if we tell you that San Sebastián, called Donostia in the Basque Country, in addition to its architecture, beaches, nature, cinema and culture in general, is a world-renowned capital for its exquisite cuisine.
The sand of La Concha or the Comb of the Wind of Chillida may be essential visits in Donostia, but without a doubt so are the bars of their taverns or bars as they are called there.
San Sebastián (Donostia) in the Basque Country and haute cuisine go hand in hand. In its streets you will find countless recommended bars, but if you want to live the best gastronomic immersion, the pintxos (small bites) allow you to try a great variety of excellent combinations, small hot or cold snacks with which you will make your mouth water.
The high level of Basque cuisine allows San Sebastián to have 17 Michelin Stars distributed in 10 restaurants within a radius of 25 km, but it is not necessary to aim so high to enjoy some of the best snacks in the city. For that the best plan is to go pintxos through the streets of Donostia, a city where you will find so many recommended bars that a weekend will never be enough to enjoy everything it has to offer.
Give yourself a great culinary tribute served in small bites and enjoy miniature haute cuisine, whether traditional or avant-garde. Pepper stuffed with cod, skewered kidneys, sirloin, skewered duck, cod with seafood cream and many more.
All watered of course with good local wines.
