Addictive!
We have just been to San Sebastián to visit dear friends. While there we were given instructions on the best way to enjoy pintxos, or tapas, as these delicious delights are known elsewhere in Spain. San Sebastián is known for having the best in the country.
We were advised not to go to just one establishment and load our plates, but to try a couple in several places. There are many places to choose from in San Sebastián.
Here are some of the pintxos we sampled in San Sebastián and Bilbao. I would like to point out that we did not eat all of these. Txakoli is a slightly sparkling, low alcohol, white wine which is an excellent accompaniment to pintxos. It is poured theatrically from high above the glass…we won’t be trying this at home, but we did enjoy it in San Sebastián.
You simply cannot go to San Sebastián and this wonderful Basque area of northern Spain without getting into the pintxos scene. The bars are lively and fun and the food delicious…something for everyone.
More on wonderful San Sebastián soon.
