As you might know, the basques as in Spain or France are very good in the kitchen ,and one of the culinary highlights of my dear Spain. Here the choices are endless and very renown foods, however for nostalgia’s sake we as a family remember fondly this place which I am updating an older post with new items, Therefore, let me tell you about the foody trail of San Sebastian !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I

I have come down by car from France to the beautiful city of San Sebastian  or Donostia in basque, We really were not looking to eat ,and did not know anything about them, just walking the city and hunger strikes; we look up some description of the menu and went in. Little did we know, we were stepping into San Sebastian’s culinary history! This is the restaurant Juanito Kojua with great memories with the family.

Located in the Old Town of Donostia/San Sebastian,at Portu kalea 14 or Calle Puerto, you will find the emblematic Juanito Kojua, In its menu, you can find a wide variety of game products, as well as spoon dishes, fish and homemade delicacies. Taste the best of Donostiarra cuisine in Juanito Kojua. Opened since 1947 ,specializing in traditional Basque cuisine.Simply awesome !! This modest spot began as a meeting place for fishermen’s eating clubs and has persisted over the years because its chefs always seem to manage to get the top of the catch. There are four dining rooms of various traditional décor, but you don’t go here so so much for ambience as for the food! A must in San Sebastian, and we love it. They are now part of the group Garrancho, that have there in addition to the feature resto , the following : Andra Mari , Virginia Mendibil (in Irún) Mesón Portaletas , Juanito Kojua, Alderdi Zahar , Casa Vergara 1948, and Casa Tiburcio.

Moving about in beautiful San Sebastian we got into the shopping mode on the Boulevard ! The grand artery along the bay, this gets you into many side streets of old world treasures and shops, plus great restos and bar, walking is a must here, you will see more. For shopping you can do some along Boulevard to calle Legazpi left or at Calle Mayor right or a bit before left on Garibai Kalea street.
