In the Basque country, instead of Tapas, they call it pintxos or small plates. Our plan every night was to just have light dinner and go pintxos hopping. For the Spaniards, this is just their cocktail before dinner. Supposedly ten minutes per bar. But I ended up going only once out of the three nights because I was already very full from lunch! We finish lunch at 3pm or 4pm and then pintxos supposedly was planned at 8pm but I just could not anymore eat
We went to the old quarter – the Konstituzio Plaza
They used to have bullfights here and you can rent the apartments here and view the fight from the balcony. That’s why there are numbers on the doors
This is the main street where they have the bars and people hop from one bar to the other to drink and have different pintxos
The custom is to really stand but we always want to sit 🙂 A table with candies
We were quite full already! We are really not used to the hopping part 🙂 So we just went to take a peek at Gandarias, a recommended place
