While Bilbao’s fine dining restaurants are no strangers to visits from the Michelin men, this region of Spain is all about bar snacks. And in Bilbao, they go by the name of pintxos. Typically an appetiser in the form of a small slice of bread stabbed by a toothpick, they’re topped by all sorts of products and can often be ordered in plates of six. These could be rich cheese-filled croquetas, jamón ibérico, tuna paste, stuffed anchovies or chunks of chorizo, for example.
