Basque Country Foodie Trip

$3799.00

Food, fun, and the sun are the three pillars of our Basque Country trip. If any of that sounds appealing, pack your bags and get ready for one mouth-wateringly delicious adventure.

You'll meet up for drinks with your new travel crew in Bilbao before heading out for your first taste of the culture—unforgettable pintxos. After a bite or two, you'll understand why this region is home to the world's highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants per capita.

Our expedition will crisscross parts of northern Spain and southwestern France, defined by an exotic language, ancient folklore, and year-round festivals. From colorful Bilbao to historic Haro and seaside San Sebastian, by the end of the week, you'll be well-versed in the region's culture, history, and world-famous cuisine.
