Tapas & Pintxos Tours
Top-rated tapas & pintxos tours
Spain’s greatest social ritual: hopping from bar to bar, a small plate and a drink at each. A guided tapas or pintxos crawl takes you to the right counters in the right order — from Seville and Madrid to the pintxos bars of San Sebastián.
Tapas vs pintxos
In most of Spain you order tapas — small plates — moving between bars, often with the drink included (and in Granada, free). In the Basque Country they’re pintxos: elaborate bites lined up on the counter, speared or plated to order, washed down with txakoli or cider. A guide gets you past the tourist bars to where locals actually eat, in the right sequence.
