Highlights
Focus on Basque Country in northern Spain including San Sebastian and Bilboa. French side includes Biarritz. They share the sea and the Pyrenees mountains.
Basque people spend more than twice as much of their disposable income on food as people do in the United States. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/spain/basque-country/travel-tips-and-articles/10-reasons-to-visit-basque-country/40625c8c-8a11-5710-a052-1479d276c4d1
Pamplona was my gateway drug to Basque country. The crown jewel of Basque country is San Sebastian, it boasts the highest concentration of Michelin starred restaurants in the world. On a return trip here, my friend was eager to have dinner at a Michelin restaurant. So we did that in addition to taking her back to my favorite pintxo bars. I’m happy to report that when she returned to the states she raved about the neighborhood pintxos. You don’t need the Michelin price tag to have a standout culinary experience here.
One of my local friends introduced us to txuleta, an ox steak from Galicia. I grew up in Texas on steaks and I can count the flavor and local preparation as one of the most memorable in the world.
