Donostia’s old town is a genuine treasure trove for those yearning for history, architecture and, of course, our pintxos. There are as many styles of pintxos as there are bars. Here are my favourites.

The Gros district is youthful and modern, with its aura of surfing, concerts and terraces. When we go to have a few pintxos around Gros, it’s not uncommon to meet barefoot surfers making their way to Zurriola beach.

Donostia city centre is full of little shops. Broad avenues taking us back to the Belle Époque, a delightful stroll to windowshop and, of course, have a few pintxos.

The Antiguo district has it all: Ondarreta beach, the Wind Comb sculpture, Palacio Miramar … and some of the tastiest pintxos in the entire city! No wonder the antiguotarras, as we call the locals, are loath to move outside their own neighbourhood.
