This sums up pretty much the feeling we basques had in the 90's⁠ ⁠ Imagine a city bustling with life and money. A river giving the tide import/export of Iron.A port full of well port life. You know the score.⁠ ⁠ That all is up in the air when the crisis hits. Our way of life had to change.There is one man who dares to say we become a service town.That we should put all our money and energy to this one building...The Guggenheim.We all love him but are afraid.Many call him crazy. People are upset. Then the construction began...⁠ ⁠ Make sure to get this story on our tours.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #love #inspiration #travel #instagood #motivation #happy #goals #success #entrepreneur #happiness #beautiful #explore #lifestyle #business #style #life #adventure #luxury #discover #photooftheday #spain #instadaily #dreambig #fashion #quote #design #bilbao #quotes #museum #gratitude https://instagr.am/p/CITA7g1Lzzi/

⁠ Did you know that we don't eat turkey for #Thanksgiving? ⁠ Well, we don't even celebrate thanksgiving. We actually did a couple of hundreds years ago, giving thanks to God for the harvest.⁠ ⁠ Back to the turkey though..We only eat turkey(pavo)when we go on a diet. True! I hear y'all laughing.⁠ So what do we eat on any holiday, important, non important day...Jamón.⁠ ⁠ Jamón is the reason we are not vegetarians. There I said it.⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #sansebastian #food #foodtours #foodcity⁠ #instafood #sansebatianguide #sansebastaintastings #sansebastianfood #pintxos #tapas #spain #visitspain #madrid #barcelona #sevilla #vacation #travel #foodie #quote #quoteoftheday #meat #bacon #bbq #bestvacation #besttour#bestvisit #whattoeatinspain https://instagr.am/p/CIA_WylMN7o/

Stephen Fry and cheese one of lifes great combos.⁠🧀⁠ And he is right, culinary accidents🤜🤛 give delicious outcomes. ⁠ ⁠ It is thought that cheese was first discovered around 8000 BC around the time when sheep🐑 were first domesticated. Rennet, the enzyme used to make cheese, is naturally present in the stomachs of ruminants. The leak-proof stomachs and other bladder-like organs of animals were often put to use to store and transport milk and other liquids. Without refrigeration, warm summer heat🌞 in combination with residual rennet in the stomach lining would have naturally curdled the milk to produce the earliest forms of cheese. ⁠ ⁠ Sounds yummy huh?⁠👅⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #food #foodporn #foodie #instafood #delicious #foodstagram #yummy #yum #foodgasm #dinner #instagood #foodpics #lunch #eeeeeats #pizza #wine #feedfeed #meat #recipe #foodphotography #bacon #glutenfree #tasty #breakfast #foodlover #cooking #healthy #cheeselover #eat #love https://instagr.am/p/CHu9yuOL8ol/

This picture is taken in Aitzgorri ⛰️( red rock in Basque ) the nature park that is smack in the middle cheese country. 🧀⁠ ⁠ Imagine rolling hills filled with picturesque sheep🐑, all that rich milk turning into creamy cheese.⁠ ⁠ After a scenic hike we visit a farm where you can taste the award winning cheese and learn all about life in this 15th century home, while we sit with the family and sip some home made cider.🍎⁠ ⁠ A day out that will leave a smile on your face . ⁠ Say cheese!📸.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #food #foodporn #foodie #instafood #delicious #foodstagram #yummy #yum #foodgasm #dinner #instagood #foodpics #lunch #eeeeeats #pizza #wine #feedfeed #meat #recipe #foodphotography #bacon #glutenfree #tasty #breakfast #foodlover #cooking #healthy #cheeselover #eat #love https://instagr.am/p/CHp0NBALzHd/

Did you know that Dom Pérignon was a French monk?⁠😇⁠ ⁠ The story gets better, the French claim he "invented" 👨‍🔬Champagne. We will never know if this is true.⁠ But what is, is that the 👨‍🎨French are masters of marketing!⁠ ⁠ This myth help dissasociate Champagne from the aristocracy 🤴decadency and linked it to the labour of the monks.⁠📿⁠ Much better!⁠ ⁠ What I know is that I love a good story 💬and good Champagne🍾⁠ Here is to you Pierre!⁠🥂⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #wine #cocktails #cheers #love #party #drinks #weekend #champagne #champagnelover #champagnediet #quote #champagneglass #champagnepop #champagnebar #champagnelife #champagnetoast #paris #travel #instagood #fashion #europe #wanderlust #photooftheday #picoftheday https://instagr.am/p/CHK6q9tHD2b/

💫 TUNA FISH FROM A JAR💫⁠ ⁠ What does the Basque Country taste like? In August like Albacore Tuna. And yes, we preserve it too to enjoy all year around. Wouldn't you?🐟⁠ ⁠ Tuna is tied to our way of living, loving and eating.💘⁠ Many homes live looking towards the sea. We still exchange tomatoes🍅, tuna, anchovies, veggies🥒 for small favors. You picked up all my amazon packages, two jars of homemade preserved tuna for you. 📦⁠ ⁠ Although the fishermen still use pole and line to avoid by catch ( yes I grew up on star fish tuna in the US🤨) The Basque Country is all about science and #sustainability.⁠ ⁠ We even have an association AZTI who does DNA testings in canneries to asure the best quality tuna. Their motto: from ecosystem to the plate.🙌⁠ ⁠ Well now that you know its a big deal , here is our ⁠ TUNA TIP💡: Checkout @caprice_usa for great tuna recipes with a Japanese twist! You can download their book for free!🍽️ LINK IN BIO https://instagr.am/p/CGH884cAqxH/
