Pintxos, that gastronomic delight that those who once tasted it long for.
The areas to eat pintxos in Biscay abound, practically every town has its own area, but there are areas with a certain success among the Biscayans. As we commented previously, each town has its zone of pintxos, normally they are in the old zone of each municipality. If it is a coastal town, they are usually near the port and if it is an inland town, they are usually in the center of town. The variety and quality of the pintxos is assured in all Vizcaya, but we are going to mention 2 very different areas but with a lot of charm.
Old port of Algorta
In summer it becomes a reference for the Vizcainos, there are many who pass through this area to potear and eat pintxos, the great promenade that links the old port of Algorta with the center of “Las arenas” or “Areeta” makes it a tourist and local attraction. Thanks to all the public resources of the area, it becomes a great showcase for multiple activities, such as …. enjoy the beach of Ereaga, walk, bike or skate its long bidegorri (specially marked path to perform sports activities), see the sea and the views that leaves us etc. .
To finish, after any of the above mentioned activities, what better than enjoying the pintxos of the area, even, if we are hungry, eating a good fish in one of the restaurants of the old port.
Bilbao Old Town
The old town of Bilbao, is a tourist attraction that you should not miss, but not only to see this classic tourist enclave, but to taste their pintxos, the street par excellence, somera street, is crowded with people who potea and eat pintxos at all hours, the Motrikes, is one of its famous pintxos bars, this is known for its txampis / champis. But not only for this bar is known this area, come and visit somera to see first hand the quality and variety of its pintxos!
