More Information On Where You Are Going...

San Sebastián is a resort town on the Bay of Biscay in Spain’s mountainous Basque Country. It’s known for Playa de la Concha and Playa de Ondarreta, beaches framed by a picturesque bayfront promenade, and world-renowned restaurants helmed by innovative chefs. In its cobblestoned old town (Parte Vieja), upscale shops neighbor vibrant pintxo bars pairing local wines with bite-size regional specialties.

San Sebastián, located in Spain's Basque Country, is renowned as one of the world's premier culinary destinations. Its vibrant food scene is anchored by the region's deep-rooted gastronomic traditions, combined with an innovative approach to fine dining. The city boasts an exceptional concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants, including legends like Arzak and Akelarre, where chefs masterfully blend traditional Basque flavors with avant-garde techniques. This has cemented San Sebastián's reputation for world-class cuisine.

However, what makes the city truly special is the ubiquitous love of food, found not just in haute cuisine but also in its humble pintxo bars. Pintxos, the Basque version of tapas, are meticulously crafted small bites often served on bread, and the city is teeming with bars offering endless varieties, from classic cod pil-pil to more inventive combinations. Paired with local Txakoli wine and set against the beautiful coastal backdrop of La Concha Bay, San Sebastián offers an unparalleled culinary experience that appeals to both casual food lovers and fine-dining enthusiasts alike.
