For bar fans

In January 2017, San Sebastián, Spain, and Taki Town in Mie Prefecture, signed a "Gourmet Certificate of Friendship.” In that spirit, VISON has a bar that won the World Pintxos Competition and three bars recommended by the mayor of San Sebastián.

Rather than enjoying a leisurely meal at one bar, bar hopping is the way of the locals in San Sebastián. VISON will give you an authentic taste of the Basque region.
