Pintxos in Pamplona

Pintxos can be a very inexpensive and filling food on a tourist trip.

We walked 2.5 hours through Pamplona and checked out the way, where the stears run to the arena in July daily for a week. Hundreds of  people run in front of them. Several get hurt every year.


After many sites and a visit in the cathedral we were hungry and we needed a place to rest our feet.
On the other side of the ayunamiento or town hall we found a beer bar that served pintxos. It was a bit disorganized because they started a renovation process, but the guys behind the bar were nice.


We choose 3 of the same, fried egg on top of lean pork cutlet, on cheese and cured ham on a piece of baguette.
I had  a bread with ham and bell pepper cream and a slice of goat cheese with caramelized onions and a walnut on top. The last one was a type of croquette with mixed peppers, pork mince in bechamel sauce, in breadcrumbs and fried.


An other one was 2 chorizo sausages with pepper sauce on bread and bloodpudding on a veg stew on an other baguette.
Since we were in a beer bar, the beer was good.


We paid 3 € per pintxos, with the amount of food on each one, that was a bargain. And the quality was top.
