In the springtime starting around April, the sidrerias (cider houses) in the hills surrounding San…read moreSebastian open their doors to the public and cider season officially starts. Alorrenea is a cider house in the village of Astigarraga which is on the outskirts of San Sebastian, about a 15-20 minute bus ride away (you can take the A2 bus from San Sebastian to get there). It's easily accessible and totally worth doing a day trip out to as it is one of the few sidrerias (cider house) in the area that opens for lunch during the week (the other two open for lunch during the week are Rezola and Sarasola). For the cost of 30 euros/person you get to drink all the cider you want and you enjoy a delicious spread of traditional cider house fare of Tortilla de Bacalao (an omelet with salt cod), Bacalao Frito con Pimientos (fried salt cod with peppers), Chuleton (grilled ribeye), and Walnuts with Cheese and Quince Paste for dessert. Everything is well prepared and very tasty though if you don't like your steak rare, you may need to speak up since most steaks I've seen in this region are still crimson inside when you cut into them. Visiting a cider house is a great way to partake in an experience that most locals enjoy and it's a surefire way to make friends and enjoy an atmosphere of conviviality. With the cider free flowing, how could it be otherwise?

Petritegi Sagardotegia was a really fun and memorable experience near San Sebastián…read more The tour itself was good, and it was interesting learning more about the cider making process and trying the different ciders directly from the barrels. I was not the biggest fan of most of the ciders personally, with the exception of the mixed apple cider from the barrel, which I really enjoyed. What truly blew me away was the meal included with the experience. The chorizo, tortilla, steak, and dessert were all incredible. Just an absurd amount of food and everything felt authentic and satisfying. Even if you are not a huge cider person, the overall experience and meal make this absolutely worth doing.

A very unique experience…read more If you have never been to a cider house in Basque Country and do not have an experience or local friend with you, it will take a you a few minutes (or even longer!) to figure out what to do when you walk into one! You are given a glass, walked over to a long wooden table, left with a plate full of delicious chorizo, which usually arrives within the first minutes, and left there to figure the rest out for yourselves! We were fortunate to have a good friend who was born and raised in the area, so he coached us when we visited Petritegi. Our group got a table next to the rows of cider barrels, so all we had to do was get up, take three steps, and fill up our glasses with cider right out of a barrel. Just as we were sitting down, someone in the hall behind us yelled out "txotx!" (pronounced "CHOACH") and a whole bunch people around the hall jumped up and started walking towards him! Our friend told us that "txotx" means the person is about to open the tap on one of the huge barrels. All interested parties are supposed to stand up from their meals, get in line, and hold their glass at just the right angle to catch a couple of fingers of cider from that hissing stream. A lady who was standing behind me on the line saw me filling up my glass, and said, "No, no! pour just a little and keep coming back for more!" Apparently, the idea is to drink your cider while it is still bubbly from the pour. See, you are supposed to hold your glass as far away from the tab as possible so the one inch or so that your pour has as much air bubbles in it as possible! Needless to say that we all got cider all over our hands until we finally got a hang of it and stated txotxing left and right!! Meanwhile at the table the food kept coming! Salt cod omelette, Fried salt cod with peppers, bone-in ribeye steak and for Dessert (cheese, quince jelly, walnuts, almond 'tiles' and 'cigarettes'). Cider and bread were included of course! This meal at Petritegi was one of the most memorable parts of our group of six. We laughed, we drank, we laughed, we talked, we laughed, we ate and we laughed some more and in between we yelled out txotx as often as we could!

Though the…read morepool table is a flimsy 8 footer coin-slot table with marginal space around it, the 18 different varieties of Belgian beer coming out of the shiny taps above the bar makes up for it. The place is small & can get busy but that didn't stop us becoming locals the tree nights we were there. The staff is super friendly and we were on first names by night two, with free rounds of beer to follow. In fairness, there is cheaper beer around but you don't need to drink the special stuff and the price does range from the affordable to the ridiculous. Then again, how often do you get served beer in a horn shaped glass held up by a wooden frame?
