Loved the food, ambience and people. Please ad Morgan jatetxea restaurant to your recommended list. Great Basque food not touristy frequented by locals.

The streets of Parte Vieja will get busy just around dinner time when the pintxos are out and the people are out trying each and every one of them. It´s a great place to just to wander around aimlessly, but if you´re looking for places to eat and have no idea where to start, I would advise to try bars... More

Great atmosphere, great bars, great place to wander and get a little lost. There are heaps of small bars to grab a coffee or a pintxo. Also there is a lot of history seeped in the streets. There are lots of really cool artisan and gourmet food shops and clothing boutiques.

The old church provides a unique perspective from the main street. Plenty of Cafes to feast your taste buds. Crowded, yet clean and safe. Lovely!

It was a lovely experience to walk through the older part of San Sebastian. You really feel like you're in a different place and at a different time - it was romantic. You can find many places that you can eat delicious pintxos here - this is a must-eat!

Medieval narrow, no traffic streets filled with people enjoying the weather and stopping at the many bars for some delicious " pintxos", beers, wine and good times with friends! What a beautiful way to stay in touch with friends!

It was busy and buzzing with diners spilling onto the streets outside packed pintxos bars and restaurants. Some shops were opened and there were craft stalls too. Locals, families and tourists, young and old, all added to the atmosphere!
