We were looking for tasty local and regional specialties to bring home, and our finds there did not disappoint. Sylvain was friendly, well-informed about everything on the shelves, and so helpful. He hand-carved some Ibérico from Córdoba for us to sample. Will stop in again the next time we visit the area.

Wow! The best pintxos I had in Bilbao, maybe in all of my trip. They have cheese - only cheese…read morepintxos. This is the highest quality of cheese, from a crepe with cheese and mushrooms, to idiazabal cheese whipped with honey, other cheeses with Chile pepper jelly, Gorgonzola with quince, and much more. You can have them cold or toasted. They also have a large selection of drinks, but I was more than enough happy with water. Good service, too. This is not in the old town, but about 15 minutes from the Intermodal station.

If you're tired of eating pintxos in San Sebastian, or you need something to go (like we did,…read morebecause I'm not sure I could get tired of eating pintxos!), this is a great place to come. This place sells 3-4 different types of ham sandwiches, all made with fresh baguettes, fresh meat, and cheese. There's no sauces or anything super fancy with these sandwiches, because you don't really need anything to cover up the taste of fresh ingredients. These sandwiches are reasonably priced at around ~4 euros, which is way better than most of the other food/sandwiches that you'll find at the train station. If you pay 1 euro more (or something nominal), you can get a drink with your sandwich, which includes bottled water, soda, or beer. Definitely worth checking this place out if you need something quick to eat, or something to save for later. There's no seating at this place, so plan accordingly - you'll have to take your food elsewhere.
