Basque-ing in coastal delights

Gateau Basque is an ethereally constructed dessert of almonds and cherries.

SAN Sebastian in Spain’s northern coast of Basque Country is widely regarded for its exquisite cuisine, thanks to its fresh seafood.

The resort town on the Bay of Biscay has the highest number of world-renowned Michelin-starred restaurants per square metre, and it is no wonder that this coastal city prides itself with its Basque-style tapas known as pintxos – cubes of bread topped with seafood, meat or cheese on toothpicks – that can be found at the many gastro bars there.
