Basque Country
Boasting some of the best cuisine in the world, beaches in natural surroundings, examples of avant-garde architecture...
This area of northern Spain is perfect for an all-round trip. If you go to the Basque Country, don't forget to try their famous “pintxos”: haute cuisine in miniature which you will find on display in many bars. You'll also find several restaurants run by some of the standard-bearers of the new Spanish cuisine. And if you'd like something delicious to drink, why not try any of the wines from the Rioja Alavesa region?
