What you'll do
Our pintxo pote Discovery experience starts at Ribera Market, the largest covered food market in Europe and where both Michelin star chiefs and ordinary citizens stock up on some of the best food the city has to offer. We want you to get to understand the importance of food in how we socialize with each other and the special little tricks to do it like a local.
Afterwards, it is time to dive into the Old Town and its hidden secrets, so our first stop would be one of the classic bar where "txikiteros", the local wine drinkers, sing songs while drinking. If we are lucky we have the option to share with them a wine and a classic aperitivo discussing about the traditions and symbols of the Basque Country. Following, we will head to iconic Plaza Nueva, to taste 2 pintxos and learn about the local basque wine: Txakoli in one of its local bar.
Once we have visited the old Town, we will cross the River to enter the Ensanche, the economic center of the city.. We will visit a very historic bar an we will have the chance to taste Rioja wines, as well as pintxos that mix the most-avangarde cuisine with the most traditional flavours of local products.
Your tour ends here, where you´ll not only be full of tasty pintxos, but also have a newfound knowledge of local culture and traditions. And most importantly, you´ll feel like an authentic Bilbaíno

I am Aitor, a very local passionate guide from the Basque Country, and particullary from the capital of the world, Bilbao. I have all worked showing our amazing city during a lot of years and I am totally proud of our culture, customs and traditions, overall to join people through our amazing gastronomy: pintxos.
The soul and the life in Bilbao is around the bars so we will experience the art of "poteo", hopping from bar to bar drinking and eating, mingling with locals in order to experience my coolest itineraries in Bilbao.
Hope to meet you soon!!! We will create our own "cuadrilla" for a few hours and you feel like an authentic bilbaino!!!
