The Hungry Tourist is delighted to present:

THT Birthday Party

 

Special Food Tour of Barcelona – San Sebastian


September 26 – October 3

Dear Friends,

For the last three years, I have celebrated my birthday in Japan, so I thought I would mix it up a little, and this year the Hungry Tourist Birthday Blow-Out will be in Spain — the world’s other great center of culinary inspiration.

The tour will be seven days, split between my two favorite cities, Barcelona and San Sebastian. I am planning for 24 of us, friends and alumnae of our tours, members of the Hungry Tourist family, all of you who share my consuming passion for food!

 

With the help of my partners on the ground, Gabriella, Alki Alcaraz, and Marc Garcia, we have already booked the entire restaurat at Estimar, Etxebarri and Ibai just for us, and arranged amazing special menus at Alkimia‘s private section, Elkano, Casa Julian and Tickets.

 

We will stay at the best hotels in both cities – the brand new EDITION in Barcelona and Maria Cristina in San Sebastian.

 

So, come and join the party — enjoy great food and hang out with your friends.

Testimonials

Usually, arrange my own food tours but when I saw Dudi’s brilliant schedule of Scandinavian stops, I knew I could not better him.

What a treat, the trip of a lifetime with a caring and truly connected leader. I’m planning another trip with him soon. Catch him anywhere you can. The best.

Judith Olney, Palm Beach

Amazing time with this guy feasting on world-class food. Thank you for opening doors to new culinary worlds, really looking forward to future experiences. Can’t wait!

Sensual, exciting, amazingly tasty.
Great group of foodies with a common passion and a lot of respect for people in general and the group members in particular. Friends who become happy when they meet fresh ingredients, perfect technique and extraordinary creativity on a plate.
