Pintxos tasting one small bite at a time in Spain

Spain, Europe

San Sebastián has a reputation that’s hard to beat. The city is packed with pintxos bars, each turning out bite-sized plates that range from simple classics to inventive takes worthy of Michelin-star status.

A pintxos tour is the easiest way to tap into the local rhythm: you move from bar to bar, try one or two dishes at each spot and pair them with a small glass of cider or txakoli, the region’s crisp white wine.

The Old Town is the heart of it, with places known for standout dishes like slow-cooked beef cheeks, fresh anchovies or grilled prawns done right in front of you.

It is casual, social and full of flavour, and it shows why San Sebastián keeps topping lists for Europe’s best food experiences.

Having travelled extensively I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in the rich culture of any country I am fortunate enough to visit. Travel is my passion and I love helping clients create an unforgettable experience that is uniquely their own. 

I genuinely believe that travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. I enjoy being part of each and every journey. No day is the same in the life of a travel consultant and I relish the challenge that this represents. I am flattered by the number of clients who have come back to me time and time again. 

Having travelled to nearly 50 countries, my bucket list is still never ending. I have backpacked my way through the world in my youth as well as enjoying five star luxury in more recent times. I have definitely felt richer from each and every experience. Travel is a way of life, I love what I do and that passion and enthusiasm always translates into the work I put into my clients plans.
