Cooking Classes and Cider House Tours

Two different things sit in this group: cooking classes, often with a market visit and a wine or cider tasting, and cider house (sidrería) tours. Cider houses lie outside the city centre, so check whether transport is included. The traditional txotx season, when cider is tapped straight from the barrel, is a winter-to-spring affair.

Frequently asked questions

Is a pintxo tour worth it, or can I just go on my own?

You can go on your own: the Old Town bars work without a guide. A tour adds a route chosen for you, explanations and usually drinks and a set number of stops. Read the inclusions rather than judging by price.

Does San Sebastián have boat tours?

Only a few. The city is about food, walking and day trips; the best-known boat offer is a short bay tour with a stop at Santa Clara island. The island ferry follows a seasonal schedule.

Is the Guggenheim in San Sebastián?

No, it is in Bilbao. Some day trips from San Sebastián include it, but plan most of a day: the offers in our list run roughly nine hours.

Can I visit France from San Sebastián?

Yes. Biarritz and the French Basque coast are within day-trip distance; the half-day and full-day tours in our list start from San Sebastián.

Which airport do I use?

San Sebastián airport is in Hondarribia, about 22 km away, with few routes, mostly domestic. Many visitors fly into Bilbao instead and take a bus of roughly an hour and a half.

When is cider house season?

The traditional txotx season, with cider tapped from the barrel, runs from winter into spring. Outside it, cider houses still serve food, but the experience is different.
