the basque coast - culinary of the sailors

general overview

Testimonies tell about intrepid navigators, sacrificed fishermen and brave whalers. The Basque Coast and its green slopes have witnessed the evolution of a nation that has developed its modus vivendi around the Cantabrian Sea. Its legacy, coastal communities, txakoli vineyards in the highlands and grills at street level that emanate aromas of tradition. All this, honored around the table of its famous restaurants (and bars).
