• Parte Vieja - Begin the day with an exquisite tortilla that is both crispy and gooey at a bustling local café. Next, explore a neighborhood market where chefs and grandmothers gather to purchase fresh kokotxa, a beloved Basque fish neck, by the kilo. On the way, meet a cheesemaker with a vision that extends beyond regional boundaries. Nearby, visit the workshop of a Mexican with Basque roots who is reviving a chocolate tradition that once linked this port to his homeland.
• Puente de Santa Catalina - Leaving the historic center, cross a bridge where the Urumea River meets the Cantabrian Sea. Here, a welcoming group of culinary professionals operates restaurants and food shops that bridge the gap between San Sebastian’s Michelin-starred establishments and its cozy neighborhood eateries. Depending on the season, enjoy a comforting fish stew with artisanal cider or perhaps fresh, delicate Cantabrian anchovies paired with a modern txakoli, the classic Basque white wine, known for its mineral and sea-like qualities. Dedicated to quality and eager for innovation, these venues offer a taste of the current culinary scene, introducing the young leaders of the city’s innovative kitchens and providing a genuine experience of the Basque Way.
