A typical bar along the route of the running of the bulls. What is not typical are the dishes they have to offer the hungry clients. Ajoarriero used to be one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite dishes while he lived in Pamplona. It is a dish of bacalao (dried cod fish) that is mixed with tomatoes, garlic, potatoes and peppers.
Crêpes de atún con espárragos is tuna salad in a crepe with white asparagus tips stuffed in. A beautiful and very filling pinxto. For a spicy tapa we had anchoa rellena de fritada which has spicy green peppers on top of filet of anchovie.
