Savor the north of Spain

A region for discerning palates

Spain is not simply visited; it is felt like a warm embrace that smells of the sea, wood fires, and endless after-dinner conversations where time stands still. This country is a passionate conversation around a table, a spontaneous toast celebrating life, and a devotion to the origins of things. Travelling through the north is an emotional pilgrimage through the senses and the palate.

On this journey, every bite tells a story of generosity: it is the nostalgia of Galicia concentrated in the steam of freshly cooked octopus and a sip of Albariño; it is the comforting warmth of Asturias, whose essence can be smelled in a slowly cooked fabada while cider is poured through the air; and it is the vibrant communion of the Basque Country, where the boldness of its pintxos is, in reality, an excuse to celebrate friendship right in the street.

We are not proposing a simple sightseeing trip, but a return to what truly matters, an immersion where the landscape becomes food and food becomes art. Here, producers will open their homes to you, winemakers will share their secrets, and every tavern will become your home for a few hours.

Come and let yourself be caressed by the gentle rain, laugh with strangers who will soon become friends, and discover that in northern Spain, cuisine is not merely nourishment, but the purest and most honest language through which this land tells you that you are welcome.

GALICIA – SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

Eating in Santiago de Compostela is, quite literally, taking a bite out of the Atlantic and feeling the embrace of the most authentic Galicia. Forget the detours: the real magic here is taking shelter in a traditional stone tavern while it rains outside, ordering freshly cooked octopus with a generous drizzle of olive oil and paprika, and enjoying it with a glass of the house white wine.

ASTURIAS – OVIEDO

Oviedo is a feast for the senses, captivating visitors through its landscape-inspired cuisine and Asturian traditions in their purest form.

On a gastronomic journey, the city enchants with the vibrant atmosphere of Calle Gascona — the boulevard where natural cider is poured continuously —, the richness and care of iconic dishes such as fabada asturiana and cachopo, and a refined bourgeois elegance reflected in one of Spain’s finest pastry traditions, represented by the emblematic carbayones and crispy moscovitas.

BILBAO

Bilbao is not simply visited; it is tasted and felt, because here eating is not a mere formality, but a way of embracing life and sharing one’s soul. Letting yourself be carried away by the heartbeat of the Seven Streets in the Old Town means surrendering to the sacred ritual of txikiteo, where the bars overflow with pintxos that are authentic miniature works of art, and every glass of chilled Txakoli is raised as if it were an old friend.

It is a city that embraces you with the comforting aroma of bacalao al pil-pil, cooked with the patience passed down through generations, while also challenging you with the boldness of its avant-garde cuisine. Every bite, whether in its traditional taverns or modern restaurants, becomes a journey back to authenticity, shared laughter, and that overwhelming happiness that can only be found around a Basque table.

SAN SEBASTIÁN

San Sebastián is an idyll whispered between the Cantabrian Sea and the palate, a magical corner where eating is not simply a passion, but an almost mystical devotion. To experience Donostia is to wander, with an open heart, through the labyrinth of the Old Town, allowing yourself to be guided by the cheerful bustle emerging from its taverns, where every bar is a miniature canvas of haute cuisine that challenges the senses.

It is the embrace of the salty sea breeze from La Concha Beach mingling with the aroma of grilled turbot, the brilliance of its constellation of Michelin stars reaching for the sky, and the warmth of a shared glass amid laughter that becomes eternal. In San Sebastián, every bite is a love poem to the land and the sea, an emotional journey that whispers in your ear that the purest happiness is served on a small plate.

LA RIOJA – LA GUARDIA Y HARO

Imagine getting lost in the labyrinth of stone and mystery of Laguardia, where the whisper of its medieval underground wineries invites you to raise a glass of vibrant carbonic maceration red wine alongside chuletillas al sarmiento that taste of pure tradition; and then surrendering to the timeless elegance of Haro, feeling the heartbeat of history in the Barrio de la Estación, where every glass of a great reserva wine borders on the sublime and its lively streets embrace you with the warmth of traditional tapas.

It is a journey that not only nourishes the body, but awakens the soul through fire, earth, and wine.
