Bilbao: Pintxos Paradise
The Basque Country's pintxos culture is legendary. In Bilbao's Casco Viejo, bars line narrow streets with counters heaving under elaborate bite-sized creations. The ritual is simple: grab a plate, point at what looks good, and enjoy.
Local secret: Order a txakoli (local sparkling wine) poured from height - it's the only proper way to drink it.
Burgos: Castilian Gastronomy
A UNESCO City of Gastronomy, Burgos is the heart of Castilian cuisine. The famous morcilla de Burgos (blood sausage) and lechazo (roast lamb) define this cathedral city.
Must-try: Stroll the Paseo del Espolón at sunset, stopping at traditional bars for tapas and local Ribera del Duero wines.
🦪 Vigo: Galicia's Seafood Capital
Vigo boasts Europe's largest fishing port. The oysters from the Rías Baixas, pulpo á feira, and percebes (goose barnacles) are some of Spain's finest seafood experiences.
Day trip: Take the ferry to Cangas or drive to Baiona for even more authentic Galician seafood villages.
🍷 The Art of the Tapeo
In Andalucía, you don't have dinner - you do a "tapeo": hopping between bars, one or two tapas at each, until midnight. It's social, it's delicious, and it's the only way to truly experience the city.
Timing: Spaniards eat late. Lunch is 2-4pm, dinner starts at 9pm. The best atmosphere is after 10pm when the locals emerge.
