2025 Biscay Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

🔥Asador Etxebarri: Mountain farmhouse roasts a Michelin star✨Lobster dances in your mouth! (with booking tips) 🔥Opening Overview Everyone! Do you guys understand? For the fireworks of this "global barbecue temple" 🔥, I flew to the Basque mountains of Spain! Asador Etxebarri, this legendary restaurant hidden in the mountains with a Michelin star🌟, has dominated the top ten of the "World's 50" for many years, really! Well-deserved! After eating, I feel like all the barbecue I used to eat was wasted! 🦐 Specialty Dishes | Every bite is charcoal art! 🔥Palamós Prawn: A must! The C of the C position! 👑 Super large fresh shrimp, charcoal fire quickly grilled, shrimp meat translucent, bouncy! Tender! sweet! With an unreplicable smoky charred aroma... One bite, the freshness reaches the sky! Feel the shrimp dancing in your mouth💃! 🧈 Grilled Fleur de Sel: That’s right! Even the salt needs to be roasted! 🤯Chef Victor bakes top sea salt slightly over charcoal fire, inspiring charming mineral aroma. Use it to pair with food (especially caviar, simple grilled vegetables), and the flavor level is immediately sublimated! ✨ This detail, get on your knees! 🐂 Grilled Veal Chop: Charred on the outside, tender and juicy when cut! Charcoal fire locks all the meat juices, only high-quality beef dares to be so "naked roast", sprinkle some roast salt, the original meat flavor bomb! 💣 🧀 Smoked Iberian Ham & Homemade Cheese: Appetizers are already stunning! The ham is fragrant with smoky flavor, and the homemade cheese is so rich that it can't be melted...🧀🤤 🍓Seasonal Roasted Fruit: Roasted fruit for dessert? Sound weird? but! Roasted peaches and strawberries🍓, sweet, juice overflowing, add some ice cream, hot and cold blend, perfect ending! 👌 🌲 Restaurant Environment | Simple and upscale mountain aesthetic The appearance is a super plain Basque farmhouse, stone walls, wooden beams roof, no sense of luxury, but! These are the back to basics high-end! The mountain view outside the window is lush and green 🌳, quiet and healing. In the open kitchen, you can see the "God of Barbecue" team focusing on cooking, and the crackling sound of the charcoal fire is the best BGM🎵. The atmosphere is directly bursting, immersive experience of the art of charcoal fire. 💁 Restaurant Service | Understated professional warmth The service staff were not overly enthusiastic, but professional, meticulous, and just right. Each dish offers a clear introduction to the ingredients and culinary philosophy (fluent in English). The rhythm is well controlled, giving you ample time to taste. One can feel their respect and pride in the ingredients and the chef’s philosophy. 💰 Average Consumption | Expensive, but worth the ticket price! Tasting Menu (tasting menu) is mainstream, prices fluctuate according to the season and ingredients, typically €250 - €350/person (about RMB 2000 - 2800, not including alcohol). Is it worth it? Definitely worth it for those who pursue the ultimate flavor of ingredients and a unique culinary art experience! Each bite refreshes cognition and is a jolt of taste and mind. Consider it a life list experience ✔️! 📌 Warm reminder | Must see! Not in vain! reservation! reservation! reservation! (Important things say three times!) 🔥At least 3 months in advance! 🔥Grab when open! It’s harder in peak season! Go directly without an appointment = eat closed door! ⛔️ 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is highly recommended! The restaurant is in the small town of Atxondo, very remote! It takes about 40-60 minutes to drive from Bilbao or San Sebastián. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but the mountain road is narrow, be safe. Navigation Enter an accurate address. 👔 Dress: Smart Casual is fine. You don't need a suit, but slippers, shorts, and sports vests are not suitable. Comfortable and decent is good. ⏳ Time: Reserve at least 3 hours to enjoy the complete package. More ample lunch time and more recommended. 🍷 Wine pairing: Great sommelier recommendation! The local Txakoli white wine or some natural wine goes well with the charcoal flavor. If you have enough budget, you can try it. With an empty stomach and an open heart! Get ready for a feast that subverts your perception of "barbecue"! 🤩

#solotrip Bilbao surprised me with its mix of modernity and tradition. I started at the Guggenheim Museum, admiring its futuristic architecture and stunning art exhibitions. Even if you don’t enter, the giant Puppy sculpture and the shimmering titanium curves of the building are worth the visit. From there, I wandered through the Casco Viejo, Bilbao’s old town, full of charming narrow streets, historic buildings, and lively pintxos bars. I couldn’t resist trying a few pintxos with a glass of txakoli, the local sparkling white wine. A must-see is the Ribera Market, perfect for tasting Basque flavors. Later, I took the funicular to Mount Artxanda for a panoramic view of the city. Bilbao is very solo traveler-friendly—safe, compact, and with excellent public transport. Eating alone is easy in pintxos bars, and locals are welcoming. Whether you love art, food, or scenic walks, Bilbao has it all!

The Guggenheim Museum in #bilbao is a must-visit for art lovers. Its iconic spiral design by Frank Lloyd Wright is as captivating as the world-class modern and contemporary art it houses. The unique layout enhances the viewing experience, making each visit unforgettable. If you ever visit Bilbao, make sure to pass by it and get lost in the world of #innovation and ##art. Highly recommended!

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in northern Spain is not only a contemporary art museum, but the building itself is also a great work of art. The museum's appearance is very avant-garde and forward-looking. Some people may think it looks like a big ship, while others think it looks like a flower. Standing at different angles, using imagination will give you different ideas. It is very interesting. No wonder this museum has become a landmark of Bilbao and even boosted Bilbao's tourism industry! #June2024

If you visit Bilbao, I definitely recommend going to the Guggenheim Museum! It gets very crowded on weekends and holidays, so I recommend going on a weekday. I went on a weekday, and there were not many people, so I was able to look around at my own pace. Both the inside and outside of the building are wonderful and very impressive. The flower sculpture "Puppy the Dog" in front of the museum is Bilbao's most international symbol, and I was surprised at how much larger it was than I expected! The museum is very large and has a wide variety of works, so I really enjoyed it.

#fallingseason Designed by Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum was completed in 1997. It's a mass of smooth curved lines and glittering tiles. The museum is crossed at one end by a bridge, which is crowned by a large skylight in the shape of a metal flower. The design is so complex that Gehry used advanced software originally conceived for the aerospace industry to work on the design. Images The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, and located in Bilbao, in Basque Country, Spain. The museum was inaugurated on 18 October 1997 by King Juan Carlos I of Spain, with an exhibition of 250 contemporary works of art #freehotelstay. #fallingseason. #placetosee #stunningbeach #londontrip #beachparty #boracaytrip #bangkoktrip #beijingtrip #tokyotrip #shenzhentrip #sanyatrip #newyortrip ¹#hangzhoutrip #beachlovers #topbeach #placetovisit #bestbeach #travel #perfectbeach #localescapes #singaporetrip #helloautumn #triptravelguide #triptravel #beachvacation #hotelstaycation
