Dinner at Plaza Nueva, Bilbao

Sunday 1st June 2014

We just made it back to the hotel in Bilbao in time to join the rest of the group to go for dinner at a tapas bar in Plaza Nueva of the Old Quarter selected by Vero. Sharing a variety of tapas with Vero doing some explanations was a good introduction to Spanish and Basque cuisines. We learnt that if the tapas bar looks messy with lots of tissue paper on the floor then it means that it is a good tapas joint. Small porions are called tapas in Spain or pintxos in Basques. Bigger portions are called raciones.
