Yeah we saw quite a few in different places locals told us it was where they used to store there grain & harvest & animal feed to keep it away from rats etc. You see so much more when you go off the beaten track & tourist routes ? atb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a look online, find a nice place and book your table now, to ensure you get one Found these places below, I've heard of a couple (they WILL be expensive). https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g187457-San_Sebastian_Donostia_Province_of_Guipuzcoa_Basque_Country.html In Basque country, in bars they have this thing called pinchos. Basically it's an item of food (usually on bread but can also just be on a small plate) with a large cocktail stick in it and you choose your own and pay at the end, according to how many sticks you have. Good cider too. I'll ask a mate of mine who lives there for some recommendations ? Edited February 12, 2018 by mushroom 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
