Gourmet Shops

Basque cuisine prides itself in excellent quality dishes but amazing results can only be achieved by using the best ingredients. Gourmet shops offer these ingredients to both professional cooks and amateurs who want to try their hands at the finest recipes. They also carry local products like olive oil, chorizo, jamón, olives, wines and much more.

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. Nowadays, it is basically a quality mark of the Basque Country. More about Solbes.

Organic shops

The Basque Country is a very fertile land and some of the ancient techniques are still used when growing produce. This means that San Sebastian has plenty of organically produced fruits and vegetables that have been locally grown for those who have an organic mindset. Organic stores around the city sell quinoa, spirulina, vitamins, cosmetics and other quality products under the fair trade seal. From gluten-free products to milk alternatives these shops will satisfy most organic needs.
