Basque gastronomy, it is very important that you do not leave Bilbao without tasting the delicacies of Basque gastronomy, for something is the autonomous community with more Michelin stars!!!! We recommend you to start with the pintxos, for this, what better area than the old town of Bilbao? To continue, how about a good T-bone steak with peppers from Gernika? or a good fish in a coastal town? We do not recommend some beans from Tolosa because with the heat that can be in August they do not fit as well as in winter, but if you dare with them you will not regret it. You can also read the article about the typical products of the Basque Country that we wrote a few months ago.
Thehotels, we have two possible options, the first, to settle in a hotel near the BEC, the other to settle in the center of Bilbao, it all depends on the tourist profile that you have, if you want to do a lot of tourism we recommend placing your headquarters in a hotel in the center of Bilbao if you just want to enjoy the basketball world cup in Bilbao we recommend one of the hotels near the BEC of which we spoke in previous articles.
3.-What to see, if you only go for a couple of days we recommend the basics and the closest to the BEC (Barakado) that is, a trip to Bilbao. Summarizing we could say that you would have to enjoy the old town of Bilbao, the Guggenheim of Bilbao, the surroundings of the estuary of Bilbao and some coastal town like the old port of Algorta.
Planning, it all depends on the days you have to enjoy the Basque Country, in previous articles we talked about trips to Bilbao and Donostia-San Sebastian, all of them, would fit perfectly to your idea if what you think is to stay a couple of days in the Basque Country.
