❋
Basque country, and more
This tour will alight in Bordeaux and then continue into the foothills of the Pyrenées. We'll eat at an affordable and sumptuous 1-star, stretch our legs in verdant foothills, and take the train nearly all the way to the Spanish border and back.
Amidst it all we'll treat ourselves to things like Espelette peppers, Irouleguy wine, and Bayonne chocolate.
And then...we'll go to Spain!
San Sebastian is calling, and so is the cantabrian coast, Logroño, and La Rioja--a beautiful intersection of great food, wine, and yes--olive oil.
❋ Where We'll Be
Bordeaux, Bayonne, Hendaye, Irun, San Sebastien, La Rioja, and Logroño. And a whole lot more in between.
❋ Where We'll Eat
A classic Bouillon, a country Asador, a mountaintop Inn, an undervalued 1-star, and a truly great evening of Pintxos.
❋ Super Cool Extra Stuff
There will be stops at least two wineries, an olive oil mill, an artisan cutlery maker, and maybe even a ham tasting. Plus… a guided art walk around San Sebastien, a cookling class, and a very special train ride.
