Part 2/7:
Blick, the host of the Spain Revealed channel, emphasizes that the true essence of enjoying pintxos lies not only in the food itself but in the experience of sharing it with others. The duo explores Gros, a vibrant neighborhood across the inlet from San Sebastian’s historic center, known for its authentic pintxo bars where locals dine.
Armed with a list of selected bars, the pair aims to sample one pintxo from each, while shedding light on the culture and customs surrounding this culinary tradition. The journey begins at Bar Bergara, a established establishment with roots dating back to the 1950s. Here, they discuss the significance of clarity in ordering. Rather than selecting from an often tourist-friendly display, they stress asking for the bar’s specialty.
