Part 3/7:
The flavors were fresh and briny—a perfect introduction to the simplicity and quality often found in traditional Basque cuisine. The vermouth and txakolí, a local sparkling wine, accompanied our dishes, offering refreshing balance and a taste of the local beverages.
Navigating the Pintxos Scene

Each dish highlighted a different facet of Basque cuisine—a delightful reminder of the rich, individualized culinary offer present throughout the region.
