Gentle green hills dotted with farmhouses, a stunningly beautiful rocky coastline, an ancient language, a strong Basque identity, and arguably the best food in Spain.
Innovation and excellence also apply to haute cuisine in the Basque Country, which has the highest per capita concentration of Michelin star restaurants in the world. With its nearly 40 Michelin-starred restaurants, the territory of Euskadi is one of the best fine dining destinations in the world. And we have a surprise for you: Although many Michelin starred restaurants can be expensive, those in the Basque Country tend to cost much less than in other places in the world.
But, when it comes to food, the Basque Country doesn’t stop at haute cuisine.
Pintxos bars (Basque tapas bars) compete to have the best and most creative tapas. Seaside restaurants serve the best wild-caught Atlantic grilled fish, and in the hamlets of the countryside, simple recipes shine with the flavors of the hills. The Basque countryside offers foraged mushrooms, sheep’s milk cheese, fresh vegetables, dry-aged beef, artisan cider and the local white wine, Txakoli.
Come, we will take you on a unique adventure:
- Visit local markets and learn how to make “pintxos”
