Basaras: the 84-year-old tavern that hides hundreds of wines and good pinchos in Bilbao. 'Grillos', trawlers, anchovies, croquettes and the everlasting potato omelette accompany a high-altitude winery in this classic bar in the Old Town.

At 11:30 in the morning, however, people don't come to Basaras for breakfast - or yes, no one is judged here -: pints of beer and glasses of wine come out before skewers.
