Have you ever heard about this? Slow Food experiences are a unique way to discover culinary culture with patience, respect for ingredients, and a true appreciation for each dish. From fresh food markets in Spain to the mouthwatering flavours of Madeira in Portugal, join us on a sensory journey through the Iberian Peninsula. If you´re a lover of fine food and wine, this is our selection of our best Slow Food experiences:

Bilbao: The city of pintxos and fine wine

We begin our journey in Bilbao, where the culture of pintxos is more than just a culinary trend, it´s a tradition passed down through generations. That´s why we suggest our traditional and innovative pintxos tour, where you can taste the best bites paired with Txakolí, a slightly sparkling white wine typical of the region. 

In the old town, you can also visit the Mercado de la Ribera, one of the largest covered markets in Europe. Here, you´ll find a wide variety of fresh fish and seafood, as well as vegetables, cured meats, and cheeses. You can also try freshly made pintxos at any of the stalls.

San Sebastián: Cradle of haute cuisine

San Sebastián is the gastronomic capital of Spain, famous for its haute cuisine, as well as its rich tradition of markets and fresh products. Here, both Michelin-starred restaurants and small pintxo bars offer an experience focused on slow-cooked traditional dishes.

Do you want to immerse yourself in Basque cuisine? Then book our gastronomic short break to San Sebastián: over 4 days, we´ll visit places like San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, with its breathtaking views, and the Mercado de la Bretxa. There, you can buy fresh Cantabrian fish, seafood, and many more local products to learn how to cook them with professional chefs. It´s an experience you won’t forget!
