As it is common in Spain, tapas (small portion of foods) are served all around and variations of dishes are endless.

Tapas, also known as appetizer food or simply, mix of various dishes served in mini-portions is something you should not miss when in Spain.

The terrace is quite big and furnished with standard tables and chairs but also has a very nice pool area where you can relax on the hammock and order your favorite drink + some quick tapas.

If you haven’t tried so far, we think it’s the right moment to try the famous Catalan champagne – Cava.

If you like olives, the ones that you can find anywhere in Spain are just like next level olives – they are seriously better than most of the olives you’ve tried elsewhere.

Maybe they will even be the best olives you have ever tried. 

Chances are quite high.

Maybe you think olives couldn’t possibly deserve this many lines in a text, but, believe me, they do!

Pinchos are the most authentic food of Basque Country but widely popular in whole Spain. 

If you haven’t tried pinchos – there is no better place to fall in love with pincho concept, then this restaurant. 

It reflects the most typical Basque tavern with it’s loud and busy atmosphere, always packed with people. 

How to choose the right pincho?

They are all displayed on a bar. At the beginning, you get a plate, chose based on what looks appealing to you, and serve to your plate whatever pincho you like from the bar.

You go to your table, you eat your pinchos (ask for some drink as well) and, then you approach to the cash register holding your plate so the cashier can count the number of the picks (the number of pinchos you have eaten) and you pay for it. Cheating is a big no, no, no!

So, basically, there is no menu for the food – it’s all displayed and you can choose whatever catches your attention.
