Baby squid

The txipirón, a type of small squid, is highly appreciated in the Basque Country and is especially celebrated in Lekeitio.

It is prepared in various ways, with baby squid in their own ink being one of the most emblematic recipes.

In Lekeitio, Chipirón Day in October is a local festival where this delicacy is celebrated with tastings and events, highlighting the importance of the baby squid in the local culture and gastronomy.
