San Sebastián Pintxos Txikiteo

San Sebastián food tours are one of the most searched Spain travel experiences — and for good reason. The Basque city on Spain's northern coast has the highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants per square kilometre in the world, but the experience most worth having costs less than $15 and involves standing at a bar counter in the Parte Vieja at 8pm with a glass of txakoli and a pintxo of whatever that specific bar does better than anyone else. Txikiteo — the Basque bar-hopping tradition — is how locals eat dinner. This guide covers the best pintxos bars in San Sebastián, what to order at each, and how to do txikiteo correctly.
