Restaurant Scams in Bilbao

Casco Viejo Pintxos Bar Overcharging

Some pintxos bars in the Casco Viejo charge tourists significantly above the standard price per pintxo, particularly in the busiest streets around Las Siete Calles. Standard pintxos cost €2–3 each; tourist-facing bars may charge €4–6 without clear menu pricing. Bars may also charge for items placed on the bar that the customer did not explicitly order or touch.
