The Basque Country is a small but intense region where you can find surprising contrasts. Cities like Bilbao, San Sebastián, and Vitoria-Gasteiz, a fascinating rural world among valleys and mountains, and cultural and natural wealth are some of the many attractions of the Basque Country that every traveler should experience. However, there is a new way to discover this beautiful land through authentic, exciting, and very inspiring experiences: Basque Country Confidential. This new premium product developed by Basquetour, the Basque tourism agency, was created with the premise that true wealth lies in experience.
Basque Country Confidential brings together in a single guide (with the participation of 85 tourist companies, businesses, and local restaurants) a selection of top-notch services that allow unique, one-off experiences to be designed to suit the traveler. These experiences showcase unmistakable aspects of the autonomous community, such as its origins, excellence, cosmopolitan character, pleasures, discoveries, and exclusivity. What exactly is Basque Country Confidential?
Culinary Talent
New Basque Cuisine adds influence from our neighboring country to a culinary tradition that is clearly seen and savored in the kitchens of the Basque Country. New Basque Cuisine arose from a generation of young, talented innovators who, while respecting the local heritage, have managed to position this new breed of culinary finesse on the world scale. The new premium brand brings together a wide selection of establishments, “pintxo” bars, wineries, roast houses, and restaurants awarded Michelin stars.
Exuberant Culture
The Basque Country celebrates culture in all its forms, from world-class film festivals to world-renowned museums. In addition to these essentials, art manifests itself in many ways through sculptures by Chillida, Oteiza, Serra, and Moore, designs by Balenciaga (which can be admired in his museum), and even through Rioja Alavesa wines.
Love for Fashion
In recent years, fashion has become something essential in the region thanks to local designers. And the fact of the matter is that being the birthplace of one of the geniuses of haute couture (Balenciaga) has influenced the way the Basque love this art. This is seen in their unique style and in the region’s shops, from international luxury brands to stores with “Made in the Basque Country” designs.
Unforgettable Experiences for Everyone
Beyond the natural charm and personality of the Basque Country, Basque Country Confidential offers the traveler unique and one-off experiences that are tailored to each individual. Whether it be from the heavens through a helicopter flight, on a sailboat along the coast, or in a luxury car, the brand has extraordinary and very exclusive premium services.
Fabulous Hotels
All this action must end with a restful night’s sleep in one of the most special and iconic hotels in the Basque Country, because Basque Country Confidential brings together the most emblematic establishments as well as beautiful boutique hotels to guarantee you a magical night.
