Discover the Basque Country

Impressive landscapes, amazing gastronomy, unique traditions...

If you plan a getaway through the north of Spain you can’t miss the Basque Country, one of the best gastronomic destinations in the world, with almost 40 restaurants that have at least one Michelin Star.

Its impressive landscapes, its beaches surrounded by wild nature, its avant-garde architecture or its charming villages make this region a unique place. During this itinerary we will get to know the incomparable Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, sample the famous pintxos while we walk through the old town of San Sebastián, discover the neighboring wine region of La Rioja or explore the coastal area of the French Basque Country. Do you feel like discovering and especially savoring the Basque Country?
