Palate Passport®: San Sebastián | Surf, Pintxos, and the Soul of the Basque Country

Описание: San Sebastián isn’t just a city. It’s a rhythm. From the waves of Zurriola Beach to the pintxo bars of the Old Town, the Basque Country moves with its own pulse. Food, culture, and coastline all in sync.

In this episode of Palate Passport, I dive into San Sebastián’s energy:
• Surf and street life around Zurriola Beach
• A kitchen-side seat at Maun inside Mercado San Martín
• Coffee culture split between Old Town Coffee and Simona Specialty Roasters
• Pintxos with neighborhood soul at Bodega Donostiarra
• A night crawl through Old Town’s legendary pintxo bars including Casa Urola, Bar Sport, and La Viña’s iconic cheesecake
• The maritime and wine heritage of Getaria, from txakoli to charcoal-grilled seafood
• Modern pintxos at Zazpi
• The pinnacle of Basque fine dining at Akelarre with Chef Pedro Subijana
• San Juan’s bonfires blazing across Zurriola Beach

San Sebastián doesn’t hand you a checklist. It hands you a rhythm. You feel it in the sea, on the plate, and in the firelight.

If you are planning a trip to San Sebastián, Getaria, or anywhere in the Basque Country, this guide shows you where to eat, drink, and experience the city at its most alive.
