Issue 21: San Sebastian, Spain

sips.ultimatehotchocolate.com

Kaixo!

Last week we were sipping around Biarritz on the French side of Basque Country. Today we are in San Sebastian, just over the border in Spain but still in Basque Country. San Sebastian, also known as Donastia, is a food lovers dream. If you visit, you will eat and drink from morning until morning (literally) and it will probably be some of the best food you have every had in your life. From pinxos to some of the world’s best restaurants, and of course some of Spains well known thick chocolate with churros, San Sebastian is always a good idea.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be taking you with me through Spain as I follow the history of chocolate. We have a lot of hot chocolates to get through!

Enjoy!
