Where a City Reinvented Itself Through Art and Culture
Your journey begins in Bilbao, a city transformed into one of Europe’s most compelling cultural capitals. Walking along the Nervión River, contemporary architecture rises beside historic streets, reflecting a powerful story of reinvention.
The Guggenheim Museum stands as a symbol of this transformation, its sculptural form reshaping not only the skyline, but the identity of the city itself.
In the historic Old Town, Bilbao’s deeper character reveals itself through narrow streets, local markets and hidden taverns. Here, a private pintxo and wine journey introduces you to the creativity and craftsmanship that define Basque gastronomy — where every bite reflects both heritage and innovation.
Where History and Identity Shape the Present
In nearby Gernika, culture and history become inseparable. Walking with your private guide through symbolic landmarks and quiet streets, you discover a place deeply connected to Basque identity, resilience and collective memory.
The experience continues through gastronomy, where locally sourced ingredients from the surrounding biosphere reserve are transformed into refined culinary expressions — connecting land, tradition and contemporary cuisine.
Where the Ocean Shapes Everyday Life
Along the Basque coast, the Atlantic reveals its full presence. Walking coastal paths and exploring fishing villages, you encounter a way of life shaped by tides, tradition and time.
In Lekeitio, fishermen continue centuries-old practices, their daily rhythms unchanged. Crossing to a small island revealed by the tide, and walking beside dramatic cliffs, you experience the coastline intimately.
Fresh seafood, prepared simply and paired with coastal wines, offers a direct connection between ocean and table.

Where Vineyards Become Landscape
Leaving the coast behind, the terrain softens into vineyard-covered hills as you enter Rioja. Walking quiet rural paths above the Ebro River, vineyards stretch endlessly across the landscape, shaped by generations of cultivation and care.
Private visits to historic wineries reveal the depth of Rioja’s winemaking tradition — where underground cellars, architectural innovation and artisanal methods coexist. Tastings become conversations, revealing the stories behind each vintage.
This is wine experienced at its source.
Where Creativity and Wine Intersect
Beyond the vineyards, Rioja reveals another dimension — its creative soul. Meeting local artists and artisans, you discover how landscape and culture continue to inspire new forms of expression.
These intimate encounters offer rare insight into a region where creativity flows naturally from place, tradition and personal connection.
Where Time Moves Beneath the Surface
In Laguardia, the past exists beneath your feet. Walking through its medieval streets, hidden underground cellars reveal centuries of winemaking history, carved directly into the earth.
Within these atmospheric spaces, private tastings and vineyard lunches connect you fully with Rioja’s identity — where gastronomy, architecture and landscape exist as one.
Here, every detail reflects continuity, care and quiet refinement.
Farewell
After breakfast, your private transfer will take you onward.
You leave with more than memories — with a deeper understanding of northern Spain’s flavors, landscapes and enduring traditions.
