I’m going to cover all of my favorite places to eat and drink in San Sebastian, Spain! About me and my travel style: I lived in San Sebastian from February-April, 2023. I restaurant and bar hopped my way through each neighborhood and am here to tell you my recommendations! If you’re the type of foodie that values atmosphere, presentation, and all-around vibes, then this is the guide for you! I’m all about budget with a side of splurge! What does that mean?
