For Basques, food always comes first, and the winter holidays are no exception. Typical Christmas foods in San Sebastian are just as delicious as you can imagine. <\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Spanish cuisine, famous for its amazing flavors, takes on even higher levels of deliciousness at Christmastime (if that\u2019s even possible!). But not all regions in Spain celebrate the winter holidays with same dishes\u2014every city and region has its own traditions and specialties. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019re headed to the Basque Country, we\u2019ve gathered up a list of typical foods that you\u2019ll find on most families\u2019 Christmas menus in San Sebastian. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Luxurious starters<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Christmas is one of the most special celebrations of the year, so Basques want to make it very special. The most important thing is to make the meal different from a normal Sunday menu\u2014which, by the way, can be very impressive too!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s why we kick the dinner off with luxurious starters such as oysters or caviar to guarantee a festive mood. If not a fan, no worries! In San Sebastian, we can always include some pintxos\u2014the local finger food\u2014on the menu. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
