A route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea

A pinxto (pronounced pin-cho) is a small and delicious snack, similar to Spanish tapas, enjoyed as an appetizer – with drinks – before dinner in the Basque Country. Its history is particularly linked to San Sebastian, Bilbao and other cities in the Basque Country.

In fact, “pinxto” is a Basque word that literally means a skewer, which pays homage to the fact that pinxtos are often, though not always, served on a souvlaki.

Today, the Basque visiting chef Ivan Abril Alvarez goes to Mount Athos Resort and creates pinxtos opposite the Athonite peak, offering them with a variety of Athonite wines. He is joined by the Resort’s executive chef and chef ambassador of Eastern Halkidiki, Tasos Paraskevaidis.
