Located in the beautiful European city of San Sebastián, in the Basque Country, a land with a huge gastronomic tradition and very close to the French border is where you’ll find your cooking school - born in response to the growing need to train chefs in Spain. San Sebastián is known for its famous "La Concha" Bay and its popular "tapas" bars and prestigious restaurants (many of which are Michelin Star Rated). Situated right on the north eastern coast of Spain, San Sebastian is a sparkling jewel in the Basque Country.
