DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN - PINTXO BAR CRAWL
For this visit to San Sebastian in June 2025, we concentrated on pintxos rather than sit-down meals. We started our pintxo tour in Parte Vieja (the old town).

We tend to have no more than two pintxos and a glass of wine or beer per bar, so we don't get too full too early. The best time to visit the pintxo bars is 8.30 —10.30 pm. Several pintxo bar

It is set in a green valley with the river Zumelegi running down its centre. It is a delightful walk on the streets of palaces and ancestral houses made of stone and carved masonry from the 17th and 18th centuries. We chose to stay in the M&UGA Hotela. The hotel is a minute's walk to
