# Eat Pintxos As A Local

**Guidekin's take:** A two hour tasting of four pintxos and four drinks chosen around your preferences and allergies, with the difference between a pintxo and a tapa explained on the way, at €174 per person. Wheelchair accessible. Rated 5 by 58 travellers.

## Overview

This is a gastronomic experience, thoughtfully designed to offer much more than a food tour.

Each pintxo is carefully selected according to your dietary preferences, allergies, or intolerances, and many of the specialties you'll taste are the kind that would be difficult to discover or order on your own.

Beyond the food, you'll learn what makes a pintxo different from a tapa, the different styles of pintxos, and why San Sebastián has earned its reputation as Europe's food capital. My goal is for you to leave not only having eaten exceptionally well, but with a deeper understanding of the city's culture, gastronomy, and identity.
