Try the most famous bar bite in San Sebastián: the Gilda Pintxo – a culinary masterpiece that pays homage to high-quality, delicious simplicity. This renowned snack features the bold trio of pickled guindilla pepper, umami-laden anchovy, and buttery manzanilla olive, creating an explosion of flavor that transcends the sum of its parts.
Legend has it that the Gilda Pintxo originated at Bar Casa Vallés and was named after Rita Hayworth’s character in the film Gilda. Some attribute the association to the dish’s spicy kick while others say that, when stood up, a Gilda looks like Hayworth’s silhouette (thoughts?). Regardless, these delectable pintxos have endured and are beginning to make their mark on American appetizer and bar menus.
