Basque Country Tour, April 2007

Well, we just finished a great private Spain-taneous tour of the Basque Country with a family from Connecticut. It was a short visit of only 4 days, but we managed to fit in quite a lot of things!

Some of the highlights were:
- Bilbao and the Guggenheim Museum, Frank Gehry's titanium masterpiece.
- The coast of Vizcaya, which included Gernika and the tiny hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
- San Sebastian and the fabulous concha beach and an interesting guided tour the Chillida-Leku Musuem, the Basque Country's most famous sculpture's country farm house.
- A visit to the Rioja Wine region where Gehry's new gem, the Marques de Riscal Hotel, was opened last year.

Feel free to have a glimpse at some of our photos!
