San Sebastian & Basque Country

San Sebastian, known locally as Donostia, sits on Spain’s northern coast and is the best possible introduction to Basque culture, a region with its own language, identity and, above all, its own food. Pintxos are the reason to come: small plates that range from a classic Spanish omelette to mussels, cured ham and chillies, traditionally balanced on a slice of baguette and eaten standing at a bar with a glass of local txakoli. Order more than you think you need.
