That cooking class in Rioja turned into an unexpected bonding moment for us, laughing over our clumsy attempts at the local dish. San Sebastian's pintxo bars were lively though a couple of the tasting stops felt a bit touristy and overpriced for what we got.
Castle, vineyards, then the Basque coast wind in our hair, one week that felt like three holidays.
Pintxo crawl through San Sebastian was chaotic in the best possible way.
Medieval stay, wine country, coastal breeze, Spain checked every box for us.
Standing at the Cap du Figuier lighthouse with the Bay of Biscay wind whipping around us was the perfect romantic full stop to the trip. Neither of us wanted to walk back to the car.
We came for history and wine and left with far more. The castle, the vineyards, the Basque coast, each leg felt like its own little getaway stitched together for the two of us.
