Pintxos Workshop The gastronomic relevance of the pintxo, also known as miniature cuisine, is due in great part to the Basque Country and its traditions.

Following the example of the cider-makers, bite-sized toothpick foods known as pintxos were served to counter the excesses caused by drinking.

Cider houses and taverns are and have always been a cultural legacy in the Basque Country.
