Description
Enjoy a private adventure that combines two of life's greatest pleasures: food and art. Visit the local food market and bars for unique tastings of Basque delicacies and explore the Guggenheim museum.
Allow your eyes to be mesmerized by the almost unimaginable shapes and reflections that the museum's titanium skin creates.
Enjoy works by Andy Warhol, Anselm Kiefer, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Eduardo Chillida and Jorge Oteiza, as well as local Basque sculptors Eduardo Chillida and Jorge Oteiza.
Learn why the museum was constructed in the first place and how it has impacted Bilbao's prosperity in recent decades.

We'll take you to the local food market (Europe's largest covered market) to show you the ingredients we use in our everyday cooking, such as salted fish, spicy chorizo, and softer calamaris (txipirones).
We'll stop in a couple of bars for some local beers and pintxos before heading to "Plaza Nueva" for lunch and three delicious pintxos.
