Description

Enjoy a private adventure that combines two of life's greatest pleasures: food and art. Visit the local food market and bars for unique tastings of Basque delicacies and explore the Guggenheim museum.
Allow your eyes to be mesmerized by the almost unimaginable shapes and reflections that the museum's titanium skin creates.

Enjoy works by Andy Warhol, Anselm Kiefer, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Eduardo Chillida and Jorge Oteiza, as well as local Basque sculptors Eduardo Chillida and Jorge Oteiza.

Learn why the museum was constructed in the first place and how it has impacted Bilbao's prosperity in recent decades.


Discover Bilbao's history by taking a leisurely stroll around the picturesque and colorful Old Town of Bilbao, which dates from the 13th century. Learn how Bilbao went from being one of Spain's ugliest to one of Europe's most modern and contemporary cities.

We'll take you to the local food market (Europe's largest covered market) to show you the ingredients we use in our everyday cooking, such as salted fish, spicy chorizo, and softer calamaris (txipirones).
We'll stop in a couple of bars for some local beers and pintxos before heading to "Plaza Nueva" for lunch and three delicious pintxos.



We'll stop in a couple of bars for some local drinks and pintxos before heading to "Plaza Nueva" for lunch and three delicious pintxos. You will discover everything about our language, Basque, which is pre-Roman and pre-latin and is maybe the Basques' most valuable asset today.


Enjoy a relaxing stroll along the Nervion river - a symbol of Bilbao's economics and history. Pass by architectural marvels such as Louise Bourgeois' "Spider," Jeff Koons' "Puppy," Arati Isozaki's towers, and Calatrava's beautiful "Zubizuri" bridge!
