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.
