🇪🇸 Basque Gastronomy: San Sebastián & Bilbao

"The Basque Country has the highest density of Michelin stars in the world 🌟 Beyond the famous Etxebarri (fire-grilled magic) 🔥 and Elkano (seafood mastery) 🐟, don’t miss the iconic Basque Cheesecake and Pintxos!" 🍴 San Sebastián 1️⃣ Ganbara 🦐 Red prawns, goose barnacles, potato salad, wild mushrooms with foie gras, squid ink rice, pepper-infused strawberries. Fun fact: Anchovy ≠ artichoke 😂 (a classic mix-up!) 2️⃣ La Cuchara de San Telmo 🦢 Melt-in-your-mouth foie gras, blood sausage with fruit purée to cut the richness. Pro tip: Be ready to “snatch” a spot — it’s always crowded! 3️⃣ La Viña 🧀 The OG Basque cheesecake — silky, slightly salty, and utterly divine. 🍽️ Bilbao 1️⃣ Amaren 🐂 130-day dry-aged beef from an 8-year-old bull — so tender you’ll wanna “chase the cow” 😋. Also try their carpaccio and sweetbreads. 2️⃣ Bassk 🧀 Creamy, molten-centered cheesecake with rich dairy flavor. 3️⃣ Bascake 🧀 Moist, dense, and flawlessly flowing center. 💡 Bonus: Shout-out to Jon Cake in Barcelona — another cheesecake gem! #MyFoodDiary #Spain #BasqueCountry #TravelSpain #BasqueCheesecake #SpanishCuisine #Bilbao #SanSebastian
