Guide of Cider Houses in the Basque Country

Cider

Tortilla de bacalao -cod omelette-, bacalao con pimientos -cod and peppers-, grilled steak, Idiazabal cheese together with local, handmade quince jelly and walnuts… and natural cider, from our barrels. In our sidrerías you usually sit in a long bench and share the place with the rest of the people, so the atmosphere is great. Natural cider is fresh, tasty drink, not strong at all. In cider bars in the Basque Country you just pay a ticket at the entrance -around 7€- and drink as much cider as you like.

In the cider houses, it is usual to book a menu or a closed price per person (depending on the cider house and the season), so it is advisable to confirm it when booking, especially if you go in a group or on the weekend.
