La Taberna del Pintxo

Basque pintxos · Centro

Must try

Cold pintxos on the bar and hot ones made to order; the cod pil-pil gets the praise (April 2026). For dessert, tarta de Santiago (almond cake) or crema catalana.

About

Basque-style pintxos bar next to the old town: you take the cold ones from the bar and the waiters bring the hot ones round to the tables.

Good to know

You pay per cocktail stick: do not throw any away. At weekends in the evening it fills up, so book or go early. Few vegetarian options. Some find it expensive for what it is.

Getting there and parking

In the centre, between the old town and the seafront promenade: park in a car park in the centre.
