Italy is a religious nation, essentially following Christian believes. Of course, Easter in Italy is an important annually highlight to honour, among family and friends.

Gilda, the most famous Pintxos Tapas from Donostia-San Sebastian in the Spanish Basque Country. Naming this particular Pintxos Gilda has nothing to do with an ancient Basque word, nor with its ingredients, it’s named after Rita Hayworth from the 1946 movie Gilda, as she’s equally “spicy and salty” (just look at her here), just as […]
An Oyster Bar is usually not the first address for a vegetarian, however, my fish- and meat-free options at KATA4 oyster bar Donostia San Sebastian have been incredible. With so many excellent restaurants and Pinchos Bar options available all across the City, it would be a shame to only eat at one place. The Tapas […]
