Beatriz bakery is recommended by many well known travel books. So while we were in Pamplona, we had…read moreto check it out. We were in line behind some ladies who were buying several boxes of the chocolate croissants. Unlike the croissants in France, these croissants are only about two inches square. Also the ones in France, these are stuffed with chocolate. So much so that they ooze out when you bite into it. The service is friendly and they speak English. It is nice to use Spanish ordering, but if you struggle they step in to help. The little croissants also come stuffed with an apple filling and a pumpkin filling. Both are fine, but we liked the chocolate best. We wished we were able to eat more as there were so many delicious looking pastries all over the store. I can't recall how much we paid for the pastries, but I am sure they were very reasonable and definitely worth the calories to try out. And despite my concern that the ladies in front of me were going to buy out the supply of chocolate croissants, my fears dissipated when new trays were brought out from the kitchen.

It's ridiculous that this place is not so popular that people don't travel to Pamplona just to…read moreexperience this confection. For the people that will not read my entire review I want to be sure they know the temple that exists here. Close your eyes and think of the most perfect croissant you can Imagine. Crispy edges with a fluffy but still chewy center now cram that full of a hazelnut chocolate spread (basically the best Nutella ever) And make it bite size served warm! That's what going down here! What I described above are called garraticos, its a fairly hard word to pronounce if you don't speak any Spanish, luckily you can point and droll, the friendly staff will do their best to decipher your needs. Don't be shy to express all your simply carb needs as the staff is all too eager to accommodate even in the mists of extremely long lines. I found this bakery as I do many of my travel treasures, walking around until I see a commotion, get involved, and eat what ever caused the frenzy. After speaking to a few people in front of me I knew what I needed, if you have read to this point you know where this is going. When my turn came, the line moves fast, I ordered 6 garraticos and went into some type of trance that pointed and ordered with zero concern of caloric ramifications. At the end I can't be sure of what all I ordered but it was magnificent! I came back 3 times before leaving Pamplona. Get on line and get ready to have your life changed !

We came for lunch the next day and it was more manageable. We bucked up and dove in. We learned that the drill is to find a table or bar space and order drinks, then peruse the tapa offerings along the bar. You pay when you've ordered the items you want. When you want more, you return to the bar, get more and pay. Tables are precious, but they do turn over so just be patient. The folks behind the bar get busy. If you speak Spanish, you can get their attention more easily. If not, don't be shy, signal you are ready to order. The staff is there to move customers, so be quick about decisions. They do understand and speak some English though there's not much chatting going on. This was some of the best tapas we've had on the the trip and we went to Madrid and San Sebastian. We just picked things that looked interesting not knowing what they were. Everything was delicious. Several items were creamy and rich like the crispy duck, crispy spinach and shrimp, and the sea urchin. The foie gras was cooked just enough to brown but still had plenty of melty richness. We had everything plus 4 beers for about $57. It's a great place and definitely worth a visit if you're in Pamplona.
