Pintxos tasting one small bite at a time in Spain

Spain, Europe

San Sebastián has a reputation that’s hard to beat. The city is packed with pintxos bars, each turning out bite-sized plates that range from simple classics to inventive takes worthy of Michelin-star status.

A pintxos tour is the easiest way to tap into the local rhythm: you move from bar to bar, try one or two dishes at each spot and pair them with a small glass of cider or txakoli, the region’s crisp white wine.

The Old Town is the heart of it, with places known for standout dishes like slow-cooked beef cheeks, fresh anchovies or grilled prawns done right in front of you.

It is casual, social and full of flavour, and it shows why San Sebastián keeps topping lists for Europe’s best food experiences.

I’m someone who’s always had a deep passion for travel and a genuine love of connecting people with the world around them.

I’ve been fortunate to live in several countries and have spent many months backpacking through South America, Europe and Asia, experiences that have given me a deep appreciation for different cultures, landscapes, and ways of life. For me, travel is more than just visiting new places, it’s about creating meaningful connections and helping others experience the transformative power of discovering the world.

Whether it’s sharing stories, planning journeys, or offering guidance, I’m passionate about helping others create their own unforgettable travel experiences.
