The unity between the Mediterranean Sea, the mountains and the sun, create the perfect frame to delight any taste bud. There’s no need for gravy or hot spices as we’re used to from home, because meat, fish, fruit and vegetables have excellent taste in the first place. A dash of salt and the right portion of olive oil, is normally the secret behind the Mediterranean diet, not forgetting about the delicious acorn fed Iberian jam, that somehow always taste better when you eat it in Spain than when you bring it home.

The Basque country is the region with the most Michelin stars in the world, and they can definitely live up to the reputation. And the best of all, you can always find great, affordable wine or cava, to accompany any imaginable dish. The Mediterranean diet has been popular for years now, as an example of healthy and yet delicious dishes. Where better to taste it all if not in its origin. From simple spicy potatoes in a local bar, through BBQ on the beach, to 3-star Michelin restaurant or vineyards, the local cuisine will never stop to surprise you. What is more, every day there are more places where the best chefs will share their knowledge and skills with you. Just ask for it!
