The “pintxos”: a quick gastronomic getaway to the Basque Country without going out of Barcelona (Part 1)

Would you like to eat typical food from Basque Country in Barcelona city? So, it’s easier than you think! You have to go to one of Basque restaurants and approach to the bar counter. There you could see a big variety of cold pintxos with bread, delicious filling and a wood toothpick over the food.

Once you’re there the waiter will give you a dish so you could put all the pintxos that you want to eat. Moreover, there will be a waiter passing by with a tray, who will offer hot pintxos little by little, very recommendable too… it worth to wait it for! When you finish, the process of paying is the following, the waiter comes and counts the toothpicks you had gathered during your visit. Normally, the pintxos cost about 2€ per unit.
