Not to be confused with tapas, pintxos are the ultimate Basque snack. Typically small pieces of bread, they’re topped with various ingredients such as anchovies, ham, goat’s cheese, fried peppers or even croquettes, and are speared through the middle with a stick. You’ll find them lined up along the bar, and the idea is to help yourself and count up the sticks and the end to find out how much you owe. Each pintxo usually costs between €1-3.
