Pintxos are the Basque Country's answer to tapas: elegant, bite-sized snacks served on slices of bread and secured with a toothpick, displayed in elaborate arrays on bar counters throughout San Sebastian and Bilbao. Unlike Andalusian tapas, pintxos are an art form unto themselves, with chefs competing to produce inventive combinations of local seafood, Iberian meats, and artisanal cheeses. The best pintxos bars are in San Sebastian's Parte Vieja old town.
