Pintxos and pours in stunning San Sebastián

San Sebastián, the culinary jewel of the Basque Country, is where local life is a delicious crawl from one pintxo to the next, between bites of the iconic Gilda and sips of crisp txakoli wine. Our San Sebastián food tour takes you deep into the city’s famed gastronomy—far from the tourist traps and straight into the heart of authentic Basque cuisine.

You’ll savor the rich txangurro a la donostiarra, bite into a sizzling slice of txistorra sausage, and discover the legendary solomillo pintxo—a perfect morsel of steak that defines simple elegance. Add in a glass of tart sagardoa (Basque cider) poured from a height and a creamy croqueta, and you’re officially doing the txikiteo—the local art of the pintxos crawl.

We’ll guide you through the elbow-to-elbow pintxos bars of the Parte Vieja (Old Town) and other Donostia neighborhoods where locals eat, drink, and master the art of living well every single day. It’s vibrant, social, delicious—and completely unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in San Sebastian worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of San Sebastian and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in San Sebastian?

It’s hard to decide what to try first in San Sebastian, given the city’s wealth of delicious dishes, but many locals and visitors say their favorites are either pintxos or bacalao a la vizcaína.

Are tourists welcome in San Sebastian?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an San Sebastian tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in San Sebastian.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic San Sebastian experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
