Gastronomy Route

A great way to sink your teeth into Spain, quite literally, is by trailing its food hotspots. In Barcelona, take your time to select fine and fresh produce from La Boqueria market, then whip up some Spanish and Catalan delights at a local cooking class. The market is located right in the heart of the city at Las Ramblas boulevard, giving you the chance to explore its vibrant bars, shops and theatres. Next, head to the charming coastal village of Getaria, where you can sample some grilled fish and the local txakoli white wine. If this appeals to the wine connoisseur in you, explore the surrounding vineyards and bodegas to get a better taste. Bilbao is another city with much to offer. Discover the magnificent Guggenheim museum, walk along the banks of the Nervión river and relish some traditional Basque wine alongside finger-licking pintxos.
