Euskadi Basque Country GRAND TOUR:
From Zarautz to Donostia/San Sebastián

Savor traditional cuisine that will make you travel back in time.

This is where you will understand that eating is more than just food. This is where you will understand that eating is more than just food.

These are rituals, customs that we are not willing to lose, like ceremonies celebrated with the same gusto in txoko (Basque gastronomical society) kitchens as in the great temples of haute cuisine.

Here, cider is not just fermented apple juice. It means sharing a table and a song in an Astigarraga or Hernani cider house, getting in line for the “txotx” from the kupela (barrel), and returning to your place before the cod omelette gets cold.

Here, the txuletón (steak) is served with coarse salt on a stone, substantial like the works of Chillida Leku and the Arditurri mines in Oiartzun, millennia-old witnesses of history.

Here, the txakoli and pintxos from tavern to tavern pair perfectly with the white houses of Hondarribia’s fisherman’s neighbourhood, La Marina. And the grilled sea bream and Orio elvers are majestic, like the Aitzondo waterfall.

After all of this, who wouldn’t enjoy a stroll along the bay of La Concha to see the Comb of the Wind?
