“Jack was our guide and did a fantastic job of blending in history with the food and drink. He obviously knows which bars have the BEST of any specific pintxos and pairs it with the most appropriate beverage. The wines were delicious, each of them having different grapes from local regions. Don’t eat before you go….there is plenty of food to call it dinner!”
