If you want a crowd pleaser, this is your pintxo. I first tried this tasty pintxo in Ganbara, a quality pintxo bar and restaurant in the old quarter of San Sebastian. The flaky puff pastry soaks all the flavour from the chistorra sausage. I like to pair mine with a tangy lemon aioli to balance the buttery pastry and spicy sausage.
