The best way to immerse yourself in the culture of a new place is to get your hands dirty\u2014and if food is included, that\u2019s even better!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In San Sebastian, the gastronomic capital of Spain, we recommend taking a local version of tapas class, a pintxo class<\/em>. These cooking classes in San Sebastian are a delicious way to dive in to the heart of the unique culture of Basque Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re looking to learn the fine arts of the local Michelin-star restaurants<\/a> or just want to spend a fun afternoon cooking with your family, there\u2019s something for everyone! Here\u2019s a list of cooking classes in San Sebastian that we recommend for real foodies.  <\/p>\n\n\n

With a special knowledge of Asian gastronomic cultures and techniques, Lander offers a wide selection of workshops. Besides the San Sebastian Pintxos and Traditional Basque Cuisine classes, there\u2019s a variety of international workshops, such as Asian Curries<\/em> or Sushi Basics<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
