Looking for a Spanish tapas cooking class? In San Sebastián, we don’t eat tapas, we eat pintxos! Learn the difference between these two delicious bites in our pintxo cooking class.
We’ll start the experience with a stop at a local bar for a pintxo and a glass of wine, explaining the differences between pintxos and tapas then, we will head to the market where we’ll handpick fresh ingredients and visit our favourite stalls. Back at our cooking school—the best-equipped in San Sebastián—we’ll cook the best pintxos and tapas in the city.
The class menu changes with the seasons to ensure we use the freshest and most authentic ingredients. Here’s a sample menu you might cook:

- Matrimonio de anchoas (anchovies pintxo)
- Fake Risotto with Orzo and Idiazábal cheese

The Pintxos & Wine lunch tour with MIMO was one of the best experiences we’ve had in San Sebastián. Kai was a fantastic guide who made the day easy and enjoyable with his knowledge and great recommendations. We loved every stop — the food and wine were outstanding and we got to try things we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. It was fun, relaxed, and absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
The pintxos tour was an amazing experience with Kai. He really took interest in each person from our group and really made sure everyone had a great time. He is a natural host; very friendly and welcoming but also very knowledgeable and relatable. His passion for gastronomy was evident as he led us through an evening of well thought out stops and selections. We expected that we would want to eat more after the tour but all of us were stuffed! I lost track of all we had but I’m attaching some photos; also sent a summary of the places we went and our pintxos selections. In the end it was a pretty good value for three hours of eating, drinking and learning about the San Sebastián food scene! Ten out of ten, no notes!!
Amazing experience start to finish. Makes you truly appreciate the fine men and women that go above and beyond to create such a masterful experience. And as you can see the food was absolutely amazing. Thank you Patricio and Eneko for an amazing experience
