The great success of their gastronomy is undoubtedly the savoir-faire, but choosing premium and local ingredients is truly a game changer. Go to the traditional markets and see it for yourself, if you get lucky you'll run into the most renowned chefs.
La Bretxa
San Sebastian
The oldest local market of the city and gateway to the old part of San Sebastian. Its name comes from the location in this area of the walls of protection of the city. The story goes that it was here that the French troops managed to open a "breach" in the wall and besiege the city.
