In the fascinating world of Basque pintxos, gildas stand out as small masterpieces that delight diners with their perfect combination of intense flavours. In the two restaurants of Grupo La Vasca -La Vasca and El Vasco-, we offer you the chance to try these gildas in Mallorca. A snack that fuses Basque tradition with culinary creativity.
The gilda: a Basque icon with history
The gilda, this iconic pintxo, has its roots in the 1950s. Its name is attributed to the 1946 American film “Gilda”, starring the famous actress Rita Hayworth. In the film, Gilda’s character is sensual and spicy, just like this combination of olives, chillies and anchovies. Since then, gilda has been a mainstay of Basque gastronomy, evoking passion and pleasure in every bite.
In our restaurants, we recognise the importance of variety to satisfy all palates. That’s why we offer a choice between the classic anchovy gilda and an equally delicious version with anchovy. Both options capture the essence of this Basque pintxo. But we have even more…
