Pintxos

Itsaso couldn't wait to show us off to her friends and colleagues in San Sebastian. The Asian population in the city is minimal. So having Asian visitors is a big deal.

We started an early bar hopping in the old part of San Sebastian where pintxos (means tapas) bars line up along both sides of the street. At each bar, we had a half filled glass of beer and pintxos selected from the bar table. They were displayed like a buffet yet they charged by each single piece. There were jarmon sandwish, anchovies on toast, calamaris, mini crab cake, etc. Delicious! It's tough to decide which one to chose... Limited stomach space and unlimited desire, that's economics!
