FULLY ESCORTED from Barcelona to The Basque Region in Northern Spain by Food I Am – your culinary and cultural specialists – along with a local tour escort.
Our meticulously crafted itinerary unveils the best of culinary and cultural experiences in Northern Spain. The Basque Country is undoubtedly one of the world's premier dining destinations. From traditional to experimental dishes, Basque gastronomy offers a diverse culinary experience.
From pintxos bars to rustic seaside restaurants, private lunches in vineyards, behind the scenes experiences with one of the Basque region's emerging chefs and the opportunity to savour his specialties – everything in Basque cuisine is elevated to a new level. This natural evolution occurs when so many talented chefs draw inspiration from one another. San Sebastián boasts more Michelin stars per capita than any other city worldwide, which may explain its status as the most expensive city to visit in Spain.
The beautiful seaside San Sebastián, stunning Laguardia in Rioja, fishing village Getaria, industrial Bilbao, picturesque Pasajes de San Juan and captivating landscapes will enchant you.
Savour tastings and engage in conversations with artisan cheese producers, experience an artisan anchovy workshop that fillets and preserves the treasures of the Cantabrian Sea, sample traditional wines such as Txakoli, mouthwatering pintxos bar delicacies and tour the vineyards of Rioja, including tours and wine tastings. Enjoy a private cooking class in a Gastronomic Society, explore local markets and be amazed by the contemporary architecture of the Guggenheim. Spend quality time with chefs, cooks and artisan producers to delve further into this region and venture into the French Basque region to Saint Jean de Luz, where you can enjoy traditional French Basque cake and savour Ossau-Irati, the highly sought after Basque sheep's milk cheese. Visit the medieval fishing village of Hondarribia.
During the evenings, you'll rest in charming boutique hotels and luxurious accommodations. Our itinerary will highlight the finest of Northern Spain's Basque region. You'll also have opportunities for relaxation at La Concha Beach or indulging in shopping sprees in San Sebastián.
No doubt, you'll fall in love with these beautiful Spanish provinces, just as I did.
