ENJOY THE VERY BEST PINCHOS/TAPAS |
|
Where can you get some good tapas? At the Navarre Pincho Week Each year in spring, the Pincho Week is organised in Navarre, with the participation of a hundred or so bars (this year the contest is to be held from 17th to 25th April). Each bar prepares two Pinchos which are served at the bar, accompanied by a drink. The culinary standard of these signature morsels is high, whilst the price is as low as possible. Pincho Week has become a social phenomenon, attracting crowds of people on a scale similar to the San Fermin bull running festivities in July. In fact, the bars in Navarre, headed by those in the city of Pamplona, have become a benchmark for miniature haute cuisine, a point of reference for other areas of Spain. A long-standing custom in Navarre is for groups of friends to leisurely stroll from one bar to another, to drink Chiquitos (small drinks) and eat Pinchos. In northern Spain these appetisers are generally referred to as Pinchos, whilst Tapas is used in central and southern Spain. Pinchos, always prepared with fresh, fine quality produce, range from simple and savoury bit-sized food to sophisticated miniature haute cuisine. |
