Unlike the rest of Spain, the Basque Country doesn’t eat tapas but pinchos or ´pintxos` (spelt in Basque). Here pintxos are ordered separately from drinks and therefore do not come free with a beverage as is the case in other Spanish regions. There are two types of pintxos, fried pintxos that are displayed on the bar that you can take as and when you choose or order from the waiting-on staff, and hot pintxos that you have to order with the waiting on staff because they have to be cooked and prepared freshly, or warmed up. Pintxos are usually a snack before going out to eat or eaten in the evening and are usually accompanied by a glass of red wine called txikito, or a beer called zurito. If you are going to visit San Sebastian, famous for the beautiful Concha Beach, its international film festival, as well as for its beautiful streets and traditional buildings, and for the people and the food, we suggest that you take a look at our five best bars or restaurants where you can enjoy the best pintxos in the city.
