PINCHO WEEK

Pinchos are small portions of food or tapas that are served at the bar and are meant to be eaten immediately.

Pincho week is held each year at the end of March and here, Navarre can be considered to be one of Spain’s leading regions for this style of cuisine.

More and more people are coming from other communities to taste the wide selection of exquisite pinchos available in Navarre – visitors from Catalonia, Valencia, the Basque Country, La Rioja, Aragon, Madrid … and even from France and Holland. Pincho week is becoming increasingly important and is developing into a tourist attraction.
