San sebastian - a gastronomic capital

general overview

Founded in the 12th century as a commercial port, San Sebastián reached its golden age at the beginning of the 20th century when it became the summer epicenter of European high society. This phenomenon, spurred on by Queen Maria Cristina, attracted bourgeois and aristocrats to the city. The chefs brought from the French gastronomic sphere will be the responsible ones for starting a silent revolution that has endured to this day. The highest quality ingredients flood the city's markets and deli shops, gastronomic societies act as temples of culinary wisdom and bars brim with creativity in the form of pintxos. All this culminates in the fact that it is the city with the highest ratio of Michelin stars per inhabitant.
