Northern Spain Tours

Explore

Where land meets sea, the Basque Country offers rugged coastlines, Michelin-starred meals, and pintxos bars bursting with flavor.

Flavor

From just-caught seafood grilled over embers to the depth of a perfectly aged Idiazabal cheese, every bite is a reflection of place.

Tradition

Centuries of seafaring, foraging, and fire-kissed cookery have shaped a cuisine that is as refined as it is elemental.

Travel to Northern Spain With Us

The Basque Country of Northern Spain is a region where age-old traditions meet avant-garde innovation. In San Sebastián, pintxos bars hum with energy, offering perfect bites of anchovy, jamón, and local cheese. Inland, cider houses serve wood-fired steaks alongside tart, effervescent sidra. And across the countryside, Michelin-starred chefs push culinary boundaries while honoring time-honored techniques. This is a place where food is an obsession, and every meal is an experience.
