For those of us who are vegetarians, the bars in San Sebastian can inspire a bit of pintxo envy.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Bar displays overflow with colorful pintxos and… they all have meat or fish. The struggle ends now! These are our picks for top vegetarian tapas in San Sebastian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, a handy bit of information: pintxos<\/em> are the Basque equivalent of tapas. They’re rarely served free with a drink, though! They’re often served on a small slice of bread and are held together by a toothpick. At many pintxos bars, you simply help yourself to the pintxos buffet. When you’re done with your meal, count your toothpicks to pay the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With such an influence of pork products in Spain, being vegetarian in San Sebastian may seem tricky. However, this guide to amazing vegetarian tapas in San Sebastian (and where to find them) will help simplify things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
