Does anyone know of cooking classes given in San Sebastian ? A friend's daughter is studying there and would like to take some extra courses and acquire more Spanish in this way.

Great timing! Long time Member Sue Yurick has been leading a culinary tour in San Sebasti�n for the past 3 weeks or so and she is going to be at our multimadrid BarBQ tomorrow in Segovia
I am sure she will pop in here and give you all sorts of advice and I will remind her tomorrow when I see her at the Q.
The school with which I am most familiar, Lu�s Ir�zar, Calle Mari 5, San Sebastian, runs professional cooking classes(2 year program) from October through June. They have a waiting list! They also have short summer programs(to which I have brought clients under the auspices of PataNegra...see their website at www.patanegra.net...) However, Virginia Irizar has directed some folks to a place called "El Txoko del Gourmet"(the gourmet's corner)which is near La Bretxa market and Aitor Lasa deli/grocery, I think. Will try to get more info for your daughter, whom I envy to pieces. What a great spot to study!
Outside of San Sebastian, in Zarauz, there is the Academia Aiala, run by Karlos Argui�ano(Spain's TV chef, very popular). They also have leisure time courses, but only in the summer. You can find out more http://www.karlosnet.com/Karlos/academia.shtml
It's all in Spanish, but your daughter can have a look.
Pack light, sleep cheap, eat well.
