Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Join a local culinary expert for an immersive pintxo-hopping experience through Donosti’s vibrant bar scene. With years of experience in fine dining and gastronomic research, I’ll guide you through what to eat, where to find it, how it’s made — and most importantly — what to drink with it. Expect thoughtful pairings, insights into culinary techniques, and behind-the-scenes stories about each dish and its origins.
As we explore the city’s most iconic and innovative pintxo bars, I’ll share how locals eat, why certain pairings matter, and how San Sebastián became a global gastronomic capital. From anchovies to aged cheeses, cider to txakoli — everything has a story, and I love telling them.

Itinerary
1
Mercado de San Martin
A good local market in which to buy Basque products.
5 minutes
2
La Concha Beach
You'll learn some historic anecdotes around La Concha Beach.
La Concha is referenced in Ernest Hemingway's classic "The Sun Also Rises"; the main character Jake Barnes briefly swims and dives in the Beach of La Concha at the end.
It is a sandy beach and shallow substrate, in which the tide fluctuation greatly affects the area available for use. It can be considered an urban beach in widespread use.
10 minutes
3
Alderdi Eder parkea
Park created in 1880 on an old military maneuvering ground next to the bay of La Concha. Its first objective was that of a place of recreation and attractions, for which reason a circus, a velodrome and a theater of puppets were located in its enclosure. However, in 1887 a casino was built —the work of Luis Aladrén Mendivil and Adolfo Morales de los Ríos—, which later became the seat of the San Sebastián City Council, for which the entire area was reformed.
5 minutes
4
Ayuntamiento de San Sebastian
The City Council building was built up in 1887 at the Gardens of Alderdi-Eder of San Sebastián, next to the Nautical Royal Club, to house the main casino. The opening ceremony was attended by the Queen Maria Christina of Austria. However, it closed as a casino after the ban on gambling in 1924.
On April 14, 1928, an agreement was reached to open in this building the Center of Attraction and Tourism, later this moving to a building next to the Hotel María Cristina.
On January 20, 1945, the council moved to this building. The architects Alday and Arizmendi amended the initial project in 1943 and turned the former casino into council. Until then, the City Hall was located in the Constitution Square (Parte Vieja), now headquarters of the Municipal Library.
