Local Experience

We love to share the essence of a destination, based on real-life experience and local knowledge. In Northern Spain, that might mean standing at the bar in a pintxos spot as plates pass from hand to hand, walking coastal paths between fishing villages, or spending time with makers whose work is shaped by the land and sea around them.

Adventure #6 with Jose & Ann

Jose Salazar is a Food & Wine Best New Chef, six-time James Beard Award nominee, and the creative force behind some of Cincinnati’s most beloved restaurants, including Salazar, Mita’s, Daylily Deli, and Safi Wine Bar. His cooking draws inspiration from global traditions and the places that have moved him most. Now, for their sixth Modern Adventure, Jose and his wide Ann turn their culinary curiosity toward Northern Spain, where Basque cooking traditions, bustling pintxos bars, and the bounty of the Atlantic coast offer fresh inspiration.

We are purveyors of celebration and joy. We'll uncover the absolute wonder of Northern Spain's vibrant flavors and fresh local ingredients, wood-fired seafood pulled from the Cantabrian coast to slow-cooked stews in mountain towns.
