Taste the best pintxos of San Sebastian and make an impact
Overview
This is a foodie immersion in real, ordinary San Sebastian to get a real sense of community, understand how locals live and eat as you learn about local history and culture.
With every person that joins the tour, we help a person in need by donating a meal to the city's soup kitchen, you eat one you feed one!
It's a 3h walking tour, where there's mostly eating and less than 10 mins-walk between each stop. We’ll go to 5 specially selected stops within two different neighbourhoods.
You'll indulge and learn all about the unique culinary tradition of going out for pintxos! Pintxos pronounced 'pin-choss', these are different from tapas and imbedded in Basque culture. We're going to show you how to navigate the local food scene and eat the best that this city has to offer.
This experience is the kind of tour for people who hate the word 'tour' and genuinely travel for food and really want to get immersed in the culture and have fun.
What's Included
- Dinner Five food stops with one pintxo (local Basque food) and one drink in each place (local drinks and wine).
- Snacks The tour is designed so you have a full meal, but if you have a larger appetite you can choose to purchase extra food and drink if you'd like.
