In Donostia (the Euskara name for San Sebastian) a popular food is pinxtos (the tx in Euskara is pronounced like ch in English) which is called tapas in Spanish.
The bars put out a spread like this and you get a plate from the bar tender for your group and you put whatever looks appealing on your plate. Then you show your plate to the bar tender (so they know what to charge you) then order your drinks from the bar tender as well. Then you grab a table and enjoy.
A popular activity is txiquiteo, which is where you don't eat pinxtos at only one bar, but hop from bar to bar sampling different things. Like dim sum, I'm not always sure what I'm eating, but it's mostly all yummy!
