Best Luxury Hotels in Basque Country
The beautiful Basque Country is an autonomous region of northern Spain, with its own distinct personality. Suitable for a beachside break, it’s also close to the Pyrenees for mountain exploring and to France, which has influenced the area’s traditions, culture and dining. Indeed, food is a big deal here, with locals having a gourmand reputation. Classic dishes revolve around homegrown/fished/reared produce such as grilled lamb, cured meat, salt cod, anchovies, sheep’s and goat’s cheese, piquillo peppers and artichokes.
