Solbes (Old Town, Gros, Aiete)
When you go wandering through the cozy streets of the Old Town make sure to stop by the legendary Solbes shop. It is located next to the La Bretxa market on Aldamar street. Solbes is a family business that has been around for 125 years. In the XIX century, the company was engaged in bottling wine and cider, and in the XX century, they started selling the best wines from Spain and Portugal.
