What you'll do
This experience is designed to show you the local lifestyle: the “Pintxo-pote”, which is basically hopping from one bar to the next one while drinking little glasses of alcoholic beverages and eating little snacks called “Pintxos”. I would like to introduce you this old tradition with a particularity: we will taste just VEGAN products.
I know it from my own experience with my guests: it’s sometimes difficult to guess if the different “Pintxos” on the counters of bars and restaurants are vegan or vegetarian. English level here is not very good, so many visitors prefer not to risk and eat products and courses they already know from their country and they miss one of the main highlights here in the Basque Country: its gastronomy.
Traditional cuisine has been largely vegan for many centuries. Unfortunately, there was a time when finding pintxos that are vegetarian was a mission impossible, even the vegetable sandwich had ham or tuna! Luckily this has changed and with the great work of many cooks today you can taste pintxos 100% vegetables, with the authentic taste of our gastronomy.
I am very proud of this route I have designed. Not only will you discover the traditional and modern techniques that are becoming trendy on the vegan scene in Bilbao, but you will also be able to discover places and projects in Bilbao, which many visitors do not enjoy.
Other things to note
IMPORTANT: Some of the places are 100% Vegan, but others not. Please if you are very strict with that, please let me know.
