OUT OF PINTXOS

Out for pintxos is one of the most popular pastimes in Euskadi; it consists of going from bar to bar, having a drink and a pintxo.Traditionally a pintxo was a slice of bread with food on top, held down with a cocktail stick (pintxo). This tradition has gradually been converted into miniature haute cuisine. Intense flavours in small portions. Come and join in the pintxo pote every Thursday (except public holidays), where you can enjoy a pintxo and a pote (drink) at cut rate prices (€2 approx). Look for the route most convenient for you and have a good time.

Look for this sign in the guidebook and find out which establishments belong to the different routes (la Gilda).

1 - Route La Cadena (Algorta) 2 - Route Las Arenas (Las Arenas) 3 - Route Puerto deportivo El Abra-Getxo (Algorta) 4 - Route Romo (Romo) 5 - Route San Nicolás (Algorta)

The excellence of the produce and the good cra- ftsmanship of our cooks are some of Euskadi’s de- fining features. The Club Euskadi Gastronomika, a network comprising restaurants, bars, stores and other gastronomy establishments that meet highly demanding criteria and commitments, has been created to enhance this way of understan- ding gastronomy.

The following list shows all the establishments awarded this quality seal. Some of them, mo- reover, offer the Chef´Voice service which has been developed based on the “Universal Design” to provide menus in the chosen languages to be read and listened to beforehand and also infor- mation on allergens.
