Apr. 5-7 - SAN SEBASTIÁN
Other than eggs for breakfast, I didn’t cook anything this weekend because I was busy eating the best tapas (or Pinxos, as they’re known in the Basque country) of my life. So while I don’t have photos for every single one, I thought I’d just give you all a little food tour of our weekend.
From left to right above: Basque cheesecake, Calamares, Tortilla for Sami and Crab Crepe for Stella, Gambas al Ajillo, Hake and Purple Potatoes, Huevos Rotos con Patatas, Tuna belly and Tomatoes, and Mushroom Croquettas.
More cheesecake (I kid you not, the cheesecake consumed on this journey was otherworldly), Ensaladilla Rusa (from a Michelin restaurant! San Sebastián is known for their many, many michelin star pinxos restaurants), Bacalao (cod) saturated with butter, Croquettas de Bacalao, Ava’s tortilla and crab/shrimp brochette, and a little glimpse into some of the options available at every bar we walked into.
Obviously this food was accompanied by incredible wine and Estrella Galicia, and a number of pinxos we forgot to take photos of. But if you’re in Spain, I’d highly recommend San Sebastián for incredible food and low prices— nearly everything above cost 3-8 euros depending on the size of the dish. Feeling so lucky, both heart and stomach are full to the brim.
