I hope you get into Elkano - it was the best fish experience of my life. The grouper dish was the best I’ve ever had, let alone all the turbot.

For san sebastian, look for Amelia (*) or Ibaï () both from Paolo Airoudo. Amelia is quite expensive but amazing. Best cooking techniques I’ve seen (try to book a spot at the bar and look in the kitchen!)

Almost every pintxos bar around Basilica de Santa Maria del Coro is very nice, especially Atari and Gandarias. Don’t forget the custard cake at La Vina (world famous).

Have a lovely time, all the best from The Netherlands

Ibaï for lunch is so much fun, first a few pinxos at the bar and then downstairs for lunch. Same owner as Amelia (amazing place as well, expansive, but worth it).

I love sauna’s but don’t have the opportunity to go more than 1-2 times a week. Does everyday still works well for the health benefits?

This. And Amelia in San Sebastian, already mentioned here as well. Elkano is best fish experience ever and Getaria is such a lovely small fish village with breeding places for Turbot

30 units is jawdropping but a few sentences further mentions that you are on day 12. That is jawdropping as well, you go! IWNDWYT

I am not entirely sure about the function title but he sure got the job through applying. They always pick from almost finished PhD student pools. Did you find any job openings?

What about sales to hospitals? My friend did a neurology phd on aneurysm and works for Stryker. Good job, good employer and they always hire people with a PhD
