Pintxos de Pamplona: mis favoritos del Casco Viejo
Me recomendaron probar alguno de los fritos del Temple pero, si pasas más de 5 minutos en el interior, te darás cuenta de que casi todas las comandas que salen son Moskovitas. El Moskovita no es otra cosa que un frito de huevo, jamón serrano y queso. Sencillo pero espectacular.
