What to expect
Your guide meets you in the old town and walks you between bars at a relaxed pace, stopping to order pintxos at counters where regulars gather. Each bar offers something different—expect to stand, chat with locals, and taste bites made that morning. Your guide explains what you're eating, why these particular bars matter, and how pintxos fit into Basque social life. Between stops there's time to absorb the narrow streets and plaza atmosphere. The tour finishes after your fifth drink and bite.
Good to know
