"San Sebastián is one of the most-loved cities in the world. It's not just the editors of Condé Nast Traveler who have fallen for this diminutive oceanfront city in the Basque Country, but our readers too-you voted it the best city in Europe in our 2023 Readers' Choice Awards. And it checks out. San Sebastian has some of the finest restaurants in the world (there are more Michelin stars per square foot than any city on the planet), a rich history, plus some excellent places"
"Tapas is more synonymous with Spanish culture-but this is the Basque Country, really, and pintxos are the order of the day here. A pintxo is a small snack served in tavernas or bars and is most often (although not always) served on top of a slice of bread, speared with a cocktail stick to keep the toppings (anchovies, perhaps, or goat cheese and ham, or tortilla) in place."
San Sebastián combines exceptional gastronomy, a coastal setting and compact, walkable neighborhoods that suit short holidays. The city hosts an unusually dense concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants alongside a thriving pintxos culture where small, creative snacks are enjoyed bar-to-bar. Pintxos typically sit on bread and are speared with cocktail sticks, encouraging hopping between venues rather than formal sit-down dining. Suggested pintxos stops include Borda Berri, Bar Sport and Txepetxa, with La Viña known for its burnt Basque cheesecake. The city also offers attractive beaches, historical sites and a range of comfortable accommodation options.
