Bar Martinez
A pintxo bar in the same family since 1942
In brief
On 31 de Agosto, the old town's main pintxo street, in the same family since 1942. It has a nine-metre counter, but the reputation rests on the hot pintxos made to order rather than the cold display — and it's named among the bars that popularised the gilda.
Compiled from public sources — not my own note.
Good to know
- After eight the street is shoulder to shoulder — midday or half past seven is easier.
- It's a standing pintxo bar with no table bookings.
