The Guggenheim in Bilbao. Once a gritty, industrial city that didn’t make it onto many visitors’ itineraries, Bilbao is now a “must see” destination for art lovers from around the world. The turnaround began in 1991 when the Guggenheim Foundation decided to place a museum in Bilbao. ⁠

The architect Frank Gehry was selected to design the building that would house a collection of modern and contemporary art. The building is itself a work of art, and it has inspired other buildings of similar design around the world.⁠ https://bit.ly/4w3gFF1

Perched on a hilltop just outside of the town center of Viana do Castelo is the majestic Basílica de Santa Luzia. Built between 1904-1943, the beautiful church that is inspired by Byzantine architecture with Gothic styling looks like a church that was built centuries ago and not one that was completed less than 80 years ago.⁠

The church sits atop Monte de Santa Luzia and offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Lima River, and the historic town of Viana do Castelo.⁠

Tapas are a uniquely Spanish gastronomic tradition. They are more than just small plates of appetizer or snack size foods. Going for tapas – or tapeo – is an experience that embodies local social, cultural and culinary traditions. ⁠

Tapabento is tucked away on a narrow cobblestone street alongside the São Bento train station in Porto. This charming tapas restaurant offers a wide variety of home-cooked food, served in a warm and welcoming ambiance. The easiest way to find the restaurant is to look for the crowd of people standing in the street to the left of the train station entrance, as they are most likely waiting for a table to open up!⁠ https://bit.ly/4nPImyt

Historic Besalú is one of Catalonia’s best preserved villages, and is 1.5 hours north of Barcelona (30 min. north of Girona). It is a quintessential Medieval village with a Romanesque arched bridge at the entrance to the Old Town, narrow cobblestone streets and charming houses built from brick and stone. The oldest remains found in town date back to 650-600 BC, and in Roman times it became a prosperous urban center in the region. It was also an important Jewish settlement and is known for having a well preserved Jewish Quarter with a restored 12th C. mikveh (ritual purification bathhouse). https://bit.ly/4uqL7bY

Barcelos is a charming medieval walled town in the northern Minho region of Portugal that is located about 45 minutes north of Porto. It has long been a center for artisanal handicrafts and the figurado style of pottery that features comical figurines with accentuated features, representing traditional farmers, folk musicians and nativity scene characters.

Barcelos is best known for the ornamental rooster figure – the Galo de Barcelos – that originated here and is the unofficial national icon of the country. https://bit.ly/4dnuy9A
