The Gilda: Spain's Tiniest Legend

Gilda

Three ingredients on a stick. No tapa has traveled further.

Born at Casa Vallés, San Sebastián

The 1940s. A ham bar skewers whatever's on the counter. The city's first pintxo is born.

Green, salty, a little spicy

Just like the film. Just like Rita Hayworth. The bar owner named her himself.

Anchovy, olive, guindilla pepper

That order, that balance. Tho Gilda's are evolving.

One bite, no cutlery

Hold the stick, bite it whole. Standing up, drink in the other hand.
