Our next stop is Bilbao. As well as being nearby beautiful beaches, we’re also in the heart of Spain’s culinary genius as this area has the highest number of Michelin rated restaurants in the world J Although, you don’t have to be fine dining to enjoy Bilbao’s culinary delights. When we arrive we’re starving so we find a great bar and order some “pinchos” which I liken to Spanish yum cha where you help yourself to what you want. We knock back a few Martini Rosso’s and feel our muscles instantly relax. This combination of Pincho’s and apertivi’s becomes a daily staple!
The next day we explore the city. We also visit the Guggenheim museum which is both fascinating and frustrating as I swing between being wowed by creative brilliance to then thinking that I (with zero creativity) could probably knock up something similar at home!
We use Bilbao as a base for several day trips around the area. We visit San Sebastian and our visit to the beach reminds us of Bondi with the abundance of Aussie accents and the beautiful small waves! We also visit Santander, the choice for Spanish locals when they want to get wet! Our time in Bilbao is extremely relaxed...
