Best Pintxos in Old Part-by Jokin Bereciartu

Old Part

Everytime I have the opportunity I love going to the old part to taste my favorite

pintxos. Goiz Argi Bar is my starting point where I recommend brocheta de gam-

bas or a Marijuli. After, I usually go to Bar Zeruko dont forget to try the pintxocalled La Hoguera and I end eating a foie pintxo at La Cuchara de San Telmo.

Yummy sandwiches & great views-by Jokin Bereciartu

Jos Miguel Barandiarn, 8

El muro is the meeting point for young people at San Sebastian. From there, youllsee the local surfers catching waves and youll be able to take the perfect photo

at dusk. Just across the road, youll nd the best sandwiches in town at Campero

Bar. Id recommend a chicken Campero.

Kino Kae-by Amaia Isasti

Egia, 16

Kino Cafe is door to door from the Boukowsky bar in Egia. Has a tiny upstairs with

a few dinner tables but if you are lucky enough to grab one of them, you will enjoy

it. Nice atmosphere, music and great amazing food: salads, salty or sweet creps

and cheese or chocolate fondue. Yummy!!!.

Bar Nstor-by Imanol Abad

Pescadera, 11 Full experience in:www.trourist.com

This is the kind of bar you only go if following somebodys suggestion. The bar

is small, with only a table,so youll probably have to eat stand on the bar. The

standard menu includes tomato, small green peppers, veal chop (chuletn) and

cheese. For two persons youll pay around 50 euros, but everything there is nger

licking good.

Uda.Berri Bar-by Imanol Abad

Larramendi, 8

Reyes Catolicos street is the meeting point of many local youngs who want to have

some beers after an entire day working at the ofce or, lucky them, tanning at the

beach. In my opinion, Udaberri is the hot spot of this promenade, a good place togo people watching. The best idea is to sit outside. There is free wi connection.

Bar Alboka-by Mikel Corts

Easo, 37

This is my favorite place to meet a friend over a beer. It isnt a big place and neitherhas a spectacular decoration, but it has something special. The music is really

good and photos of local artists hang on the walls. You might nd groups of friends

having a few beers or people enjoying the reading of a book.

Polvorn Bar in Urgull, best landscape in town-by Oier Marigil

Monte Urgull

A non-typical place to have a drink. Amazing view of the bay in the heart of Urgull

mountain. As special as the place itself is the couple attending the bar: pleasant

hippies that are worth knowing.

Bar Ondarra-by Isabel Fernndez

Avenida Zurriola, 16 bis

Good place to go, with three different atmospheres. For having a drink outside the

bar, in front of Kursaal Congress Center; for having a drink sittin; standing inside for

a short drink and downstairs for clubbing! nice music and dks on weekends.

Altxerri Bar-by Imanol Abad

Reina Regente, 2

During the last 20 years, Altxerri has been the jazz hot spot in San Sebastian. So, if

you like jazz music, this is your bar to go for a drink. The place is very peaceful and

intimate, but when there is live music, raises the temperature!

Be Bop Bar-by Jokin Bereciartu

Paseo Salamanca, 3

Apart from being one of the few bars open till late in the city, Be Bop bar is wellknow for the jazzy and funky beats djs play. Every week live shows also take place,

dont forget to check out their agenda before going there.

Le Bukowski-by Marta Vega

Egia, 18

Its a cool place to go for a drink while you listen to live music. This is a mythical bar

for this part of Donostia, Egia. Dont miss out!.

Leize Gorria Bar-by Mikel Corts

Zubieta, 9

Leize Gorria is the referent inside underground scene in San Sebastian. Youll be

able to enjoy the Jam Sesions and concerts of local musicians at this small bar

located in the city center. If you love live music, dont miss it. Jam sessions on Mon-

days and Thurdays, poetry on Wenesday and concerts on Fridays and Saturdays.

Quisquillas and karrakelas in the Port-by Imanol Abad

Paseo del Muelle

The local people of SS dont eat pumpkin seed or chips when they go for a walk.

We do eat cooked quisquillas (small shrimps) and karrakelas (winkles) bought in

cones in the small sh shop located in the beggining of the Port. Please, note theexaggeration : ) Yet, it is 100% true that we live for little moments like this.

Beltza Records-by Isabel Fernndez

San Juan, 9

since 1990 100% alternative music shop death or glory & keep on the rhythm& blues style!!!

Music, photographs, t-shirts, comics

Sur Lessons-by Mikel Corts

Zurriola beach

Surng is a big thing in Donostia. If youve never tried before the feeling of catching

waves, Id recommend you to take surng lessons at Pukas surf school, placed at

the Zurriola beach. Surng can be a good option to relax after partying hard in the

Old Part of the city.

Rent a bike-by Mikel Corts

Avda. de la Zurriola, 22

Renting a bike is a must to enjoy Donostia. It permits you to be having dinner at the

Muro (Zurriola) and only ten minutes later be enjoying the summer night breeze at

the Peine del Viento (Ondarreta). Id also recommend the bike ride through the 3

beaches, if its at night timebetter. Bikes can be rent in a shop just across the street

from the Kursaal.

Euskal Jaiak-by Imanol Abad

Zarauz (30 mins. by train from San Sebastian)

Decked out in traditional rural farm worker (baserritarra) wear, the people of Za-

rautz and neighboring villages hit the streets every September 9th to live a very

special day. Unquestionably, cider is an indispensable element in the Euskal Jaia ofZarautz. It is served by the ton at Barren Plaza and Musika Plaza.

Estropadak-by Jokin Bereciartu

Paseo del Muelle and Old Part

Ever since, the Basque Country and its inhabitants have been very close to thesea. This feeling can be appreciated during the Regata of Donostia which takes

place during the 2nd week of Sept. The city gets packed with supportes from all the

rowing teams. Once the race is nished all the people meet at the Old Part to keep

celebrating this special day.

Zinemaldia-by Imanol Abad

All around the city

The International Film Festival will celebrate its 58th edition from the 17th to the

25th of September. During this week, San Sebastian is not only full of glamour

the list of personalities making an appearance at the Festival is endless-, but has

also an excellent atmosphere (many young people of different cities work in the

Festival as collaborators).

Jazzaldia-by

All around the city

It takes place during the third week of July, from the 21st to the 25th. Great jazz

artists from all over the world come to San Sebastian and play in hidden corners

all over the city. Everyday live shows take place in the Green stage beside the sea,

where the locals meet to chill out and grab a few beers.

Tips by a local trourist

trourist and entrepreneur at:ddonosti.com

Txomin Jauregi

As a university student, I spent six incredible and unrepeatable months in

Aarhaus, Denmark. Even so, Ive always elt that i I had a magic wand and

could choose a destination o my liking, Id go back in time to those six

months and transorm mysel into a German, Dutch, Norwegian student,

well something like that anyway, and come to San Sebastian on an exchan-

ge program. SS or Donosti as locals it, is a city that surprises all those

who visit it, oering a pleasant climate, bicycle paths, sand, sur, moun-

tains, pintxos (called tapas elsewhere), wining and dining and best o all,

a chance to perect your irting skills. All o this contained in one small city who can ask or anything more?

For those o you, Erasmus or not, planning to visit San Sebastian someti-

me soon, Id like to share my ideal itinerary with you: a light dinner with a

lettuce-tomato-tuna salad, sardines, washed down with a rereshing bottle

o cider at one o the seaport eateries. Its imperative that you order pre-

cisely these menu items. Seaport restaurants have a justifed reputation

or being on the expensive side. However, i you limit yoursel to the above,

youll do alright plus youll have a ront-row seat to an unbeatable pano-

rama. Your best bet is to do it sometime in June or July when the days are

long and the sunsets unorgettable. And i you top dinner o, sipping a coolgin tonic at one o the Plaza de la Constitucin (La Consti) outdoor caes,

youll think you died and went straight to heaven.
