Setting foot on Europe, FINALLY!

I am going to SPAIN!!!


But as you can see, Spain is huge and we will only be covering two regions over the 7-day trip - Basque Country in the North (mainly city of San Sebastian) and Catalonia in the Northeast (mainly city of Barcelona).

Basque (Pai Vasco in Spanish) and Catalonia are two of the autonomous communities in Spain, which is the way Spain is politically divided. The autonomous communities were created by integrating provinces with common historical, cultural and economical traits, hence one is would expect varying experiences when visiting different parts of Spain.

San Sebastian is renown for its food and has a high concentration of Michelin star restaurants. We are lucky to secure a reservation at Arzak, a three-michelin star restaurant which I got to learn about on American celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain's tv program No Reservations. I am so excited!!!
