Experience Details

Join us for a unique culinary journey with our Pintxos Tour with a Chef in San Sebastián, where you’ll be guided by a local chef who has worked in the city’s top pintxos bars. This tour is not just about tasting; it’s a deep dive into the cultural fabric of the Basque region, offering an intimate, educational experience in the art of pintxos. You’ll engage in "poteo," the traditional Basque practice of bar hopping with friends, enjoying small plates and drinks in a social, relaxed setting. We keep our groups small to ensure a personalized experience, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the local lifestyle and culinary techniques. By the end of the evening, you’ll have formed your own "Kuadrilla," or group of friends, reflecting the true spirit of San Sebastián’s vibrant gastronomic scene. Join this tour for an unforgettable night that goes beyond the ordinary, providing not just food, but a passport to the heart of Basque culture.
