The Pintxa is a competition among the local bars who offer a "pintxo" (a mini appetiser pierced with a cocktail stick and often served on bread) with a soft drink, glass of beer or wine.
Around 20 bars and restaurants in San Antonio will be taking part, offering a tasty choice of very reasonably priced signature pintxos and tapas. Going from one to the other is easy, what's more, thanks to the tourist train kindly provided by the town council. Eat, drink, be merry and get around safely at this fun fair of fine food.
