What is a Sagardotegi?
A sagardotegi makes sagardoa, the very dry, Basque style of hard apple cider. Sagardotegiak (plural) are found throughout the Basque Country and are very popular places for groups to go for a fun evening. They serve an amazing dinner of steak, cod, bread, cheese and walnuts, and of course all of the sagardoa a person can drink. You're given a fork and glass, and food is brought out family-style. Between the courses, the owners yell out "TXOTX!" and everyone goes to the wooden barrels to fill their glasses.
Sister Cities
Since 2012, the city of South San Francisco, home to the Basque Cultural Center, has been Sister Cities with Basque city of Donibane Garazi (St. Jean Pied de Port), which is the capital of the Basque province of Lower Navarre.
