History

Spanish Wikipedia says the gilda is a banderilla or pincho served in the bars and taverns of Spain, especially the north, and that the name began to be used in San Sebastian. Accounts of its origin differ: Google Arts & Culture credits either Casa Valles or Bar Martinez, both in San Sebastian. Wikipedia's Bilbao entry lists gildas among the snacks of the city. Baster, in the Casco Viejo, lists gildas and rabas on its website, and Ola Martin Berasategui includes a Gilda in its tasting menus.
