Bilbao is the capital of the Spanish Basque country (Vizcaya) and the epicenter of Basque cuisine, one of the best regional cuisines of Spain. Try the Pintxos, an elaborate tapa that is washed down with Txacolí wine and Basque cider. Explore the Guggenheim Bilbao museum, designed by Frank Gehry, one of the most iconic buildings in a country full of iconic buildings. Take a 45 minute ride by local bus to the famous La Concha beach in San Sebastian, described by Hemingway in The Sun Also Rises and then drive to the nearby Rioja wine region to appreciate the fine art of winemaking at the Marques del Riscal winery and hotel, also designed by Frank Gehry). Share a bottle of Rioja Alta wine (Hemingway’s favorite) and be glad that the sun also rises in Spain’s best wine region.
