Food - Pintxo tour


Student exchange, as well as holidays is the season in which the diet must be put aside. Food, food and once more food. Going to any bar in Bilbao you want to try everything, because it is completely different than our traditional pierogi, and bigos. This city is the home of Basque cuisine and seafood forms the heart of Basque cooking, considered the most inventive cuisine in Spain. Is famous for a lot of dishes, such as delicious tapas-like appetizers called pintxos. You have to remember that here are no tapas. The food culture in the north of Spain is not about tapas. It is about pintxos. The difference between them is really simple. A tapa is a small serve of particular dish, such as meatballs, tortilla de patatas, patatas bravas which can also be prepared in bigger sizes, and shared with family or friends. A pintxo is a small snack made of combination of ingredients for just one person. It would be impossible for a traditional pintxo to be prepared as a bigger serving, as is possible with tapas.
