The piled-high bar glistens with tempting pintxos (Basque tapas) at this bubbly Basque tavern in the heart of Girona's old town. Just help yourself and staff will add up your toothpicks when it comes time to cough up. Other bite-sized delights, chalked up on boards, are whipped up to order – perhaps grilled goat's cheese, or king prawns and cured ham.
