Blai Tonight
What to eat: Local food – Pintxos
Price range: 1,00 €
Pintxos (pinchos) can easily be described as tapas on bread, but they are actually so much more than that. Depending on the bar or restaurant that serves this little treats, Pintxos can be hot or cold, with meat, seafood or vegetables, and they can even be sweet. The combinations of ingredients are endless so feel free to try at least a couple of them. The best place to go is Calle Blai – between Tapioles and Roser streets. Here you can find a dozen of bars serving pintxos with beer or wine for just 1,00€.
Our favorite pintxos bar is Blai Tonight. This is a small bar on Calle Blai that opens at 7:00 pm every day. They serve about 30 different types of pintxos for 1€ each. You can listen to some good music, try as many pintxos that you can eat, and when you are finished eating, count the toothpicks and pay the bill accordingly.

This was by far the best tapas experience I have had in Spain. Amazing prices and value for money and the host is absolutely exceptional, makes you feel like home.
Food is real, local, tasty, a variety of tapas that I can not even name, with wonderful croquettes, ham, olives, cheeses, sausages, that go so well with the beer… Paco is a great host that knows perfectly his job and treats wonderfully his guests. Our sincere recommendation for Bar Xapako!
