CRITIC’S PICK: The city of San Sebastián (or Donostia as it’s locally known) in Northern Spain’s Basque region has more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than anywhere in the world. The food there is astonishingly good, and I speak from experience. The annual Tamborrada Festival proudly celebrates its distinctive fare by having a 24-hour-long drum bash every January with thousands of revelers that’s easily the loudest fiesta in the whole country. Cooks & Soldiers in Atlanta, whose focus is Basque cuisine, pays homage to the occasion by inviting punters to partake of typical dishes and related libations, along with live music and general frivolity. — Kevin C.
