Pintxos

Pintxos are small, flavorful snack-sized dishes originating from the Basque region of Spain, typically served in bars. Usually skewered with a toothpick or presented on a piece of bread, they encompass a variety of ingredients like seafood, meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Pintxos are enjoyed as appetizers or casual bites, allowing for a personalized tasting experience. They are often chosen from a display and enjoyed with drinks, embodying a social, communal eating tradition. The variety, presentation, and regional craftsmanship make pintxos a distinctive and cherished aspect of Basque culinary culture.
