Pintxos are small snacks typically served in bars throughout the Basque Country in Spain. They are often made with a variety of ingredients, such as meats, cheeses, and vegetables, and are usually skewered with a toothpick. The word "pintxo" comes from the Basque word for "spike," referring to the way these snacks are held together. In San Sebastián, a city famous for its culinary scene, pintxos are a popular way to enjoy food and socialize. People often hop from bar to bar, sampling different pintxos and pairing them with local wines or ciders. This vibrant food culture makes for a fun and delicious experience!
