There's
few better opportunities for a gourmand than wandering the charming streets of the Casco Viejo of San Sebastian, pausing for
a glass of Txacoli, the distinctive young, frizzy wine of the region, while perusing the dozens of pintchos (a type of
tapa) on offer at each establishment. These are not humble tapas, but delicious and well conceived little creations in a stunning and
mouthwatering variety.
Some recommended bars for pintchos include:
