the ART of the good LIFE ART in Bilbao
ART in Donosti
ART in Gasteiz
Bilbao is much more than the Guggenheim Museum. It is a city where vanguard tendencies and history blend together in order to offer an unforgettable experience. The great architectural and infrastructure projects have been the true engine of economical and urban regeneration of the city and are clear examples of the unstoppable vitality that you can feel in Bilbao.
San Sebastian is the world capital of pintxos. Gastronomy and nature compete in this city, known world wide for its cuisine and chefs that collect amongst them 16 Michelin stars. Tradition and modernity live together in this city, with some touches of the Belle Epoque that also has an extremely interesting cultural agenda.
Vitoria – Gasteiz is the European Green Capital in 2012. It has the highest percentage of green zones per person in Euskadi. It also has an intense cultural life and its traditional gastronomy, based on local produce and blended with the great wines of Rioja Alavesa, that will not dissapoint any of its visitors.
