Guide to go out for pintxos
San Sebastián Region Tourism Office
- If it’s a cold pintxo, it is usually available at the bar, and you just serve yourself.
- If it is a hot pintxo, ask the waiter.
- When you go out for pintxos, it is normal to order something to eat and drink in each bar and then move on to the next one
- In the bars, the length of the stick (if the pintxo actually has a stick) does not indicate the price range. If in doubt, ask the waiter.
- You usually pay at the end. In groups of friends, it is usual to buy rounds or to put money into a kitty before you start (as opposed to just paying your own way in each bar).
