Star grazing
Basque Country, Spain
Basque people are fiercely proud – visit northern Spain’s verdant vineyards, lofty mountains, sun-soaked beaches and Michelin star-strewn restaurants and you’ll realise why. You’ll come home tired, happy and a little bit fat.
Eat at the famed Arzak in San Sebastián
See Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum
Trek to Gaztelugatxe on the Biscay coast
Take an oceanside hike up Monte Urgull
Feast on pintxos in San Sebastián
Fly to Bilbao and – after a pit-stop at the Guggenheim – drive south past vineyards to secluded Casona de Quintana. Following a few sedentary days, make San Sebastián your final stop and stay at the cinema-themed Astoria7, whose rooms honour silver-screen heroes. Hungry? The town has the second-most Michelin stars per capita in the world.

Movie-star style in San Antonio
Don’t miss the film-themed library
A journey across the Basque Country of northern Spain is the ultimate epicurean pilgrimage. From triple-Michelin-starred mastery in sparkling restaurants to rough-and-ready (but utterly delicious) pintxos, expect your taste buds to take a trip.
In summer, you’ll share the sights with holidaying crowds from Madrid and Barcelona; if you want more elbow-room in the museums, bars and restaurants, come in autumn or spring.
