Tapas en el globo - Bilbao

Tapas are as most foodies know small bites or dishes served typically at the bar, to snack between drinks and conversation. In the northern part of spain pintxos (pinchos) and tapas have evolved from the simpe skewer and meat on bread to "tapas compuestas" where the tapa takes on a culinary mantle, elaborated for multiple levels of taste and texture. These are the types of tapas popular in the middle of the old section of Bilbao at El Globo

the tapas are elaborate, tasty and avantgarde with the likes of mousse de pescado con algas (fish mouse covered in algae)
