Today, various delicacies are pinned on a thin slice of bread with a wooden skewer. And the skewers (pinchos) gave their name to this kind of tapas. Pinchos are best enjoyed directly at the bar where they are displayed in glass showcases like small works of art. Some bars are famous for their creative pinchos. And in the market halls people like to eat a few for (second) breakfast. Here’s where you get some of the best pinchos in Palma.
