Cider is a big part of San Sebastián’s scene and has been produced at cider houses in the region for thousands of years. I have to confess my trip to the cider house wasn’t my favourite night out in the city, I’m used to the sweeter (sweetened?) ciders of the UK and I wasn’t excited by the rustic food served there. But it is an experience, and one which others in my group enjoyed. We visited Petritegi which has been producing cider for about 500 years, first in traditional wooden presses, but today production is largely automated. You will still be served cider in the traditional Basque way though – shooting straight from the vat at high speed. Your job: catch it in a glass, drink and enjoy.
