This three-hour small-group walking tour in San Sebastian offers a detailed look at the city’s pintxo scene, tasting traditional and modern dishes in reserved seating. The tour begins with a visit to Mercado De La Bretxa, where guests sample corn-fed Iberian ham, chorizo, local cheese, olives, olive oil, and the classic "gilda". Next is a visit to a private gastronomic society club to learn about their role in Basque food culture. The group then explores Konstituzio Plaza, a notable historic square with architectural features and balcony numbers that reflect its past. The tour continues with stops at two different pintxo bars: one known for its local produce and its location on Calle Mayor, a street with theaters and a basilica, and another newer bar featuring creations by Chef Diego. The final stop is a traditional bar celebrating its 60th anniversary, offering a local dessert paired with Basque licor. Included are tastings of eight pintxo plates, four wines including Txakoli, Rioja, natural cider, and non-alcoholic options, plus a guide with recommendations for further dining. The group size is limited to nine people for a more intimate experience. Gratuities and transfers are not included; a taxi stand is nearby, but there is no Uber service in the city.
