This is the best city-center shop for Basque-made artisan items such as patterned tablecloths and linens, goatskin jai alai balls, ceramics, and traditional dress.

This bookstore is one of the city's best. There's a decent selection of English-language books as well as CDs, games, and stationery.

This posh gourmet food and wineshop also hosts Basque cooking classes and popular food tours.

Cy Schnabel, son of the American "plate painting" artist Julian Schnabel, is the curator of this buzzy new gallery on Mount Igeldo that displays thought-provoking works by emerging artists, many of them local. Visits are by online booking only.
