The concentration of celebrated chefs around San Sebastián is so dazzling that food is a natural rallying point here. Beyond the famous names such as Arzak, Subijana, Berasategui, Arbelaitz, and Aduriz, there are dozens of other rising stars in and around the Basque Country, from Bilbao to Hondarribia, not to mention the everyday excellence of ordinary food prepared with no gourmet pretensions beyond happy dining. The mountain cooking of the Pyrenees and the inevitable symphony of food and wine in the wine-growing regions of Navarra and La Rioja are memorable, while Santander offers nonpareil seafood riches.
