Spain/Basque Country: Pintxos – Basque Food Recap
Pintxos (pronounced as pinchos) is the Basque version of the Spanish tapas and are often viewed as the main component of the Basque cuisine. Pintxo literally means “a thorn” and what distinguishes these mini snacks are toothpicks holding these tiny sandwiches together. San Sebastián is literally packed with pintxo bars lining up almost every street, each with insane and often absolutely unique variety of pintxos. One can spend a week here and never repeat the menu (and I only had half a day to stuff myself silly). Definitely coming back here again!
