Edukia • Cider bars
Hernani has twelve cider bars.
All of them are open during the Txotx season which runs from 20th January to the end of April.
Until recently, cider bars were only open during this season, but nowadays, some are open all year round.
Offering a more extensive menu that may include seasonal local produce such as tomatoes, chilli peppers and grilled tuna.
Some cider bars have also adapted their traditional menu for vegetarians.
Tips when visiting a cider bar
- Book in advance, especially if you are going in season, and confirm the number of diners a few days beforehand.
- Bear in mind that the menu is traditional: if you have any special requirements, you should mention these at the time of booking or confirmation.
- Remember that you are in a cellar: wear comfortable, warm clothes.
- We advise going early, at around 1pm at lunchtime or 8pm in the evening.
- Respect the customs of each cider bar and the closing times of the “txotx”.
- Don't waste anything.
- Try the ciders from different barrels to experience the different varieties.
- Once you have done the “txotx”, return to your table.
