Semesterboende i San Sebastian

-I´ll show you ingredients from traditional Basque gastronomy and we will locate them geographically in the territory of the seven Basque provinces, so you can tour the Basque Country through its gastronomic culture. -We will cook and taste 6 of the most famous Pintxos of San Sebastián´s bars, while I tell you their stories, secrets and tips so you can cook like a local chef. They will be 6 bite "Basque tapas" that will include local ingredients as fish, pork, cheese, eggs, dairy products and vegetables. Dessert will include the original recipe of "the best Cheesecake in the World", from "La Viña" bar. It is possible to adapt the 6 pintxos for vegetarians, but because most of the ingredients in our culture are of animal origin, it is not a course suitable for vegans. Sorry. -We will set up a little stand with different props for you to take beautiful photographs of the Pintxos you've prepared, so you can share your experience and new knowledge with family and friends. Cook like a local !! Other things to note The class I offer is dynamic. You, traveller, will cook your own Pintxos with my help. The most important thing is to arrive hungry for cooking, learning, enjoying and getting your hands dirty!!

We will start the tour visiting the historical market of the city, we will walk through its picturesque streets where we can experience the Basque gastronomic culture. We will reach the heart of the old part of San Sebastian, its former bullring, its 16th century churches and convents, then we will walk through its oldest street and see the oldest house in town. We will walk down the harbour, we will stop in a couple of spots where you can have panoramic views of the city, ideal to take a nice photo, and we will take you to the best places where you can see a beautiful sunset and finish the Tour with an excellent view of the city and the sea. Otros aspectos destacables This Walking Tour is taking place in the Old Town of San Sebastian; for other tours in the rest of the city, please consult me!

I am in love with this city through its bars and its people, we will walk through San Sebastián from bar to bar discovering in each place the most popular local pintxos and the most typical drinks in the area. I will save you a lot of money in trying sites and skewers that are not what they represent us, I honestly tell you that I have a lot of money invested in this city only in eating and I love it !!! :) If you find the right places and specifically with the exact pintxos you will be amazed, let me guide you on this gastronomic tour. I believe that my passion for this city, this culture and especially for meeting new people and sharing with them everything I know about this city, will make it your best experience or at least I will do my best to make it as rewarding as possible; ) On this route we will skip the most typical tourist sites to see the bars that I think most are icons of San Sebastián and frequented among local people. I wait for you!

We will meet in San Sebastian to then travel by train to Zumaia, a little village west of San Sebastian, famous for appearing in some films and series and for having the most incredible cliffs of the Basque coast. Here, while we walk its streets and buildings, we will discover the history and geology of this unique place at the Basque Coast UNESCO Global Geopark, an area that holds a geological heritage of more than 60 million years! Some hidden fossils will be part of our way! After admiring the views we'll descent to Itzurun beach to walk along it and learn about the incredible geological heritage. We'll then visit the iconic "Ermita de San Telmo” where we'll do some more fossil spotting and sightseeing. Algorri rocky cove will be our last stop where we will learn about the extinction of the dinosaurs and how biodiversity has evolved through millions of years. The gorgeous landscape will be our eternal companion, but of course, to finish this experience I'll take you to one of my favourite bar for a drink, such as the Txakoli local white wine or Craft Apple Cider. See you!

We'll visit 4 different bars for a glass & a pintxo (Basque tapa) at each one. It's a full meal, a great night out & exactly what the locals like to do. You'll BE A LOCAL with me! Along the route I'll show you the sites & tell you about the history & culture of the Basque Country, but my focus is definitely on FOOD & DRINK. There's no better way to learn why this is one of the world's most delicious culinary capitols. Oh, I'm also gonna email you a handful of recipes when we're done so you can take the magic home. My route & the menu changes daily, but we'll do a mix from the traditional to the modern. Expect to dine of anchovies, octopus, bacalao, veal cheeks, foie gras, suckling pig, maybe we'll nibble on a pig ear or two? Thirsty? I'm great at pairing the perfect pour with the perfect plate, from local ciders to white wine (txakoli), young & aged tempranillo from La Rioja & beyond. Or tear it up with some exceptional Basque craft beer! We're gonna have a blast, get a good walk in, have some laughs & of course EAT & DRINK VERY WELL. TOPA!
