• Parte Vieja - Txikiteo: The first rule of the txikiteo club is: there are no rules. An approximate definition of ‘txikiteo’ could be: moving from bar to bar, enjoying a pintxo and sipping a glass of something (typically a low-alcohol drink, not cocktails!) at each stop. The txikiteo is experienced standing, in front of a bar brimming with pintxos and surrounded by unfamiliar faces (who you might end up befriending.)
  And this is exactly what you’ll experience with Ikusnahi: pure txikiteo, hopping from bar to bar, savoring the most famous specialty of each in a truly Basque setting and mingling with locals who, you know, you don’t know…but might end up meeting.
• Fermin Calbeton Kalea - Pintxo: A piece of miniature cuisine that began as something simple (a portion of potato omelette, a slice of ham on bread…) and that the bars of the Basque Country have refined over time, making it more intricate to attract more patrons. The story is fascinating and there are as many versions as there are historians. On our tour, you’ll discover some of them, along with many other intriguing facts about the culinary culture that thrives in the Basque Country.

Drinking: This is the other great tradition (along with Eating) in the Basque Country. Wine and cider have been beloved beverages of the Basque people for the last five centuries, although beer has been gaining popularity in recent years. Did you know that in the 16th century, Basque sailors rarely suffered from scurvy on long sea voyages, thanks to the cider they consumed?

• Sarriegi Plaza - Txakoli: A typically Basque dry and sparkling white wine, with grapes grown in vineyards near the Cantabrian Sea. It is perfect for pairing with fish dishes…or pintxos. Nothing more to add.

Cider: A low-alcohol drink made from fermented apple juice. Slightly sweet, slightly bitter, it has only one danger: it is as easy to drink as water.

Zurito: A small serving of beer (about 20-25 cl.) Perfect for accompanying pintxos. The term ‘zurito’ is unique to the Basque Country. If you go to Madrid and ask for a ‘zurito’ no one will understand you (unless the bartender is Basque, of course).

• Calle 31 de Agosto - San Sebastián Cheesecake: If God were a cake, He would be a San Sebastián Cheesecake. Did you know that San Sebastián Cheesecake is global cheesecake royalty, right up there with New York Cheesecake? Did you know that, as a result of this success, the Thermomix kitchen robot includes the recipe for ‘San Sebastián Cheesecake’ in its programs? Okay. Today you’ll taste the authentic, the mother of everything, the origin, the Big Bang.
