San Sebastian's pintxos are delicious! But everyone goes to the bars in the small historic centre. Yes, they're amazing, and I love them. But there is so much more to this city. So Yoly and I hit the super local pintxo bars in San Sebastian's Centro Neighbourhood. Venga, let’s go! 🥝

These are the pintxo bars we hit!
1. Casa Vallés: the home of the gilda, the original pintxo!
2. Bar Espiga: San Sebastian's oldest pintxo bar, and home to the fabulous Jesus
3. Bar Ciamboga: A tiny hidden spot famous for one very garlicky potato dish
4. Narru: Fancy bar in a hotel lobby serving some seriously good chicken wings.
5. Bar Antonio: This place has champagne by the glass! And an incredible anchovy dish that is tiny, but delicious.
6. Altuna: Not quite a pintxo bar, but these guys do some fantastic market-fresh shared plates!
And remember to pair it all with txakoli, local cider or Rioja1

**THIS VIDEO WAS SHOT A MONTH AGO BEFORE LOCKDOWN** A couple of weeks before we went into lockdown, Yoly and I took a trip up to San Sebastian. And we shot a couple of videos. This is the first. Let's all stay at home, keep social distancing and ensure we can get through this! 💪🏾

A zurito is smaller than a caña -- usually half-sized. That's what makes it perfect for pintxos -- you're not drinking quite so much when you go from bar to bar.

@spainrevealed 4 года назад

That's true!

It was also for broken guys , to streching the money,like me in san sebastian,in eighties,can be 8 side the bar with music etc etc ,for no much money😅😅

As far as Spanish food I tried, Basque food is my absolute favorite and I haven't even been to Basque region, but the best food I had even in Catalonia was Basque.

Hi James and Yoli, tried leaving a comment on how much fun it was watching you two at home cooking, but having a hard time with this RU-vid update. Besides that, really was surprised and happy to see a new video, and it all looked delicious. Hope you and yours are staying safe and well. Thank you!

@aimeeschweitzer6420 4 года назад

As always, fantastic video James and Yoly!! This is giving me life during our own lockdown here in Ohio, USA. My husband and I had planned a big trip to Portugal and Spain and we're hoping we'll get to re-plan it for later this year. The Basque Country is on the top of our list!

@spainrevealed 4 года назад

@qnosetequemeelarroz 4 года назад

I feel kind of nostalgic being in lockdown in San Sebastián and watching your video, also imagining how happy i will be when this is over and i'll be able to enjoy San Sebastián's pintxos and bars. I was one of the students at BCC where you gave a class, it was lovely to meet you and to get to know the heart of your projects, regards and best of luck!

@harrysword3419 3 года назад

Love these videos - spent a fair amount of time in Spain, but never been to San Sebastian. Food looks next level.

@TravelingisFREEDOM 4 года назад

I really liked this one, I am hoping to be able to visit San Sebastian at one point in the future when all this madness ends and this video gave me great ideas as far as local places to visit for pintxos! Stay Safe!

@KimJayViet 4 года назад

I love and miss San Sebastian. My family and I have visited 3 times already, having stayed in the square of la Catedral de Buen Pastor and Parte Vieja (the third time was a drive down from Biarritz). We've only explored the old town and Gros, but I'm always interested in parts south of the cathedral and more of Gros. It's such a bicycle friendly city, too, and we have enjoyed going through the tunnels of this part of Spain. I love pintxos and especially white anchovies. We can't get in them in California the way you do. We had to cancel our April trip to Barcelona because of the COVID-19 quarantine; most of it was planned because of your wonderful channel. I hope you and Yolly continue to stay safe. I hope to see your wonderful country and taste your amazing food again soon.

Hi James and Yolanda, I just visited San Sebastián and Barcelona following some of your tips and recommendations from your RU-vid channel. I must say all the places I visited were absolutely fantastic and I would like to say gracias☺️☺️☺️

@mizginavale22 4 года назад

I'm watching this while I am eating my own boring meal for dinner. I am going to refer to this video as "James' Sadistic Food Video" since I've watched it on the day that I didn't make a meal to compare to this food extravaganza !!! I want to try the "Platillo" since I love potatoes and garlic together. I'm ready to be in Spain already. Get this virus under control so I can get my visa and travel there !!!! Thanks for sharing all these places and dishes and it is wonderful to watch how James and Yoli are total foodies, which is a vicarious experience for me as a foodie too.

@spainrevealed 4 года назад

Looking forward to having you visit!

Hola! My best friend and his wife are vising Spain as I write this and have family in San Sebastian. They're in Santander now but will return soon. Their favorite bar in San Sebastian is La Espiga, and I can see why that is so. I have passed through the city twice on the way to and from Germany back in the early 1970s, when I was stationed in Berlin in the Army. You are fascinating and very informative about all things Spanish. It would be a lot of fun to accompany you on one of your trips through the country. Sadly, I won't be able to do that, too old and creaky at 76 to do much traveling these days. I had a shot at learning Spanish a two years ago, when I got back into contact with an amiga from my army days. Unfortunately, she had a stroke about a year ago and cannot communicate at all now. Thanks again for all you do for those of us outside your wonderful country. Viva Espana!

@ronbaylon7111 4 года назад

Appreciate that !

I remember gramma used to pickle sardines in her clay jars, and when they were ready to make fish sauce for her kimchee she would take to and put on a plate for me and give some fresh picked chili peppers and a bowl of rice. the first anchovy dish really reminds me of what i remember.

Mnomnomnomnom that all looked good, and I can tell I'm getting better because I really wanted to eat the dishes, they looked sooooo yummy. I'm almost there guys, almost. My taste got back a little today, smell is still gone, hopefully back soon as well. And then, I'm gonna order from local restaurants over here, I think I deserve that after these hell-weeks. Thanks again for a great video, stay safe. 😊❤️👍

@gurutzlete2126 4 года назад

Me muevo entre la ilusión que le hace a uno que reconozcan las cosas buenas de su tierra, y la angustia de ver cuanta gente a visto esto y cuantos comentarios en tan pocos dias. Nos estamos cargando, ya nos hemos cargado de hecho, una ciudad preciosa y una manera de vivir. La parte vieja ya es una Disneylandia del pintxo, muchos bsstante cutres. A muchos autoctonos ya ni se nos ocurre acercarnos en verano a la viejo. Donosti esta muriendo de exito, como antes Barcelona y tantos otros. Ya np hay quien compre un piso o pueda vivir en la parte vieja. Y le esta llegando a Gros. En fin, es una pena todo. Y no es turismofobia. Es la cruda realidad. Un saludo

@tximeleta35 3 года назад

También es riqueza para el país. Debe haber una forma sostenible de compaginar ambos, turismo y sostenibilidad.

I am from Caceres and live in Perth (Australia). I love your channel. One thing I miss a lot about Spain is the large pharmacies (well, and supermarkets too) where you can buy toiletries: soaps, shower gels, deodorants, fresh colognes, etc. Yoli should do a supermarket tour of Spanish toiletries, I am sure it would be very popular.

@Elena-Immaculata 3 года назад

How "Delicioso!" I would levitate if I could go "pintxos" bar hopping with Salustiano😍 My son & DAUGHTER went to Spain 2 yrs ago & rented a car. They drove everywhere. WOW they enjoyed everything with such delight. They loved ALL the food😋

Hey guys, people who are not familiar with Spain may not know why you are always standing when you go to a restaurant/pub... Maybe you explained it before, but we think it may be useful to folks who don't know about that style of eating in Spain. :-). Absolutely loved this video... and thank you for the Euskera lessons!!!

@mrn13 4 года назад

I studied in San Sebastian 1993-1994 and it was an expensive city, people from Bilbao and Vitoria always complained and tried to explain how expensive it was compared to theirs...I remember myself that a bocadillo de tortilla went for 300 pesetas, pinxto 250 pesetas and basically all canas at least 150 pesetas!

@spainrevealed 4 года назад

I'm sure a lot has changed since then - including the prices!

Lengua (de vaca) a la vinagreta its pretty popular here in Argentina too. Its one of those dishes that fair better in simple terms, just that and perhaps some bread but without anything else (no condiments like mayonnaise, no egg, no cheese, just the meat on its vinagreta and the bread

@MrWalter2202 4 года назад

Saw already many of your videos, but now I subscribed ! Did you eat all that in one day ? I am German and actually I live near Barcelona, but at the moment we are locked down in Galicia, where my wife is from. I know a lot of great places to have fantastic food all over Spain, but looking your videos I am still learning. Thanks a lot !

@mrickling 4 года назад

The best video to see while cooped up at home! Where did you have amazing wings in Orlando? Seems hard to believe - eg maybe wings outside of the US aren’t all that impressive - but ??? And so many guindillas in the gilda! I’ve been making mine all wrong! 🤪

@kensaberi 3 года назад

Hi guys, you're missing out on a very important spanish custom: eating bread! Especially where there's sauce. Love the videos.

This should be classified as torture for those in lockdown! Mouthwatering!!!!

@DougJenkins777 Год назад

You guys have come so far... and its so cool to have developed what you have. My wife (Russian and I American) did something similar in the past but more a mix of e-commerce and moving forward in health care within the US (which was challenging). Anywho... you rock, we've followed you since and it'd be fun to talk. Planning on a trip to San Sebastian and or Barcelona this year and would like to talk... will buy a tour.... hope to meet as we're considering the medical work we do now for Ukraine and perhaps how Spain revealed tours might pair up. Feel free to DM me.
