San Sebastián, or Donostia as it s known in Basque, is a smallish city of just under 200,000 people. It was once the summer retreat of Spanish royalty and it s fine architecture and stunning beach promenade are reminders of that proud time.
It is a wealthy city with some fabulous clothing shops, but is probably best known for it s cuisine. There are 2 fabulous airplane ticket dining airplane ticket choices to make: do we bar hop our way around the old centre airplane ticket and enjoy some of the best tapas in Spain, or do we choose one the Michelin-starred restaurants for a fine dining experience we will never forget?
The usual form is to hop from bar to bar, each one usually has its own speciality. IF in doubt watch the locals, but you enter, find a space, grab the pinxos ot tapas that you want, order a drink, and pay on your way out according to the number of drinks and toothpicks you ve had. You collect the toothpick from each tapa and the waiter will count them plus your drinks and give you the tab. It s an honesty system that works. I ve never seen anyone airplane ticket caught cheating the system but I imagine the punishment is a dunking in the local port.
For sit-down dining, there's plenty to offer. Spain currently has six three-star Michelin restaurants of which three are here in San Sebastian. Booking is essential, people travel from all over just to experience Arzark or Berasategi s creations.
As a footnote, airplane ticket most kids love tapas. They can pick and choose as they want, and you ll always find something they love. And when they re done eating they can play safely in the street (no traffic) while you finish yours.
