Traditional bar crawl through the Siete Calles and Plaza Nueva.
Txikiteo is the Basque custom of drinking a small glass of wine or beer in several bars in turn. In the Casco Viejo it starts on Plaza Nueva and moves through the Siete Calles: Barrenkale, Somera and Tendería. Santuario at Barrenkale 17 sits on the route, and Baster at Posta 22 is a short detour.
Pintxos usually cost EUR 1-3 (USD 1.15-3.45) and a zurito (small beer) or a glass of txakoli costs a few euros.
