Cabecita de Ajo is a small, colourful design concept store in the heart of Bilbao’s Old Town (Casco Viejo), at Calle Lotería 3. We sell illustration, jewellery, home decor, accessories and original gifts from independent brands and local Basque makers. And no, despite the name («little head of garlic»), we don’t sell garlic.
