    With a history dating back to 1997, it remains one of Bilbao's essential pintxo bars . Always lively and busy, it is a meeting point for tourists and locals alike. The legendary spider crab gratin pintxo is the main attraction, although other gratins such as potato and truffle, beef or baby squid are also very popular. They have another location in Plaza Nueva, with a wider offer and the option to make reservations. A must-visit on any pintxo tour of the city.
