studios €145; )
The owners of this excellent
pensión
read the rule book on
what makes a good hotel and complied exactly. The rooms are bright, bold and full
of exposed stone, and everything smells fresh and clean. The communal area,
stuffed with soft sofas and mountains of information, is a big plus.
PENSIÓN AMAIUR OSTATUA €

room €40-45, d without bathroom €50-65; )
Sprawling over three floors of an
old town house, this excellent
pensión
continues to improve. The rooms, all of
which share bathrooms, are generally fairly small but have had a great deal of
thought put into them and every room and every floor is different - maybe you'll get
one with chintzy wallpaper or maybe you'll go for one with brazen primary colours.

Calle del Puerto 15; r without bathroom
€60-70, r with bathroom €80-90; )
A fine
pensión
with rooms that are all tarted
up in brash modern colours, but with a salute to the past in the stone walls and ceil-
ings. It's very well cared for and well situated.

Eating
San Sebastián stands atop a pedestal as one of the culinary capitals of the planet.
There are more Michelin stars per capita here than anywhere else on earth. As if
that alone weren't enough, the city is overflowing with bars - almost all of which
have bar tops weighed down under a mountain of
pintxo
excellence.
LA CUCHARA DE SAN TELMO €
(Calle de 31 de Agosto 28)
This unfussy, hidden-away (and hard to find) bar of-
fers miniature
nueva cocina vasca
from a supremely creative kitchen. Chefs Alex
Montiel and Iñaki Gulin conjure up such delights as
carrílera de ternera al vino tinto
(calf cheeks in red wine), with meat so tender it starts to dissolve almost before it's
past your lips.
