We're exploring Spain's distinct regions and their local specialities over the course of five exclusive gastronomic events. Here we head to the north west.
If anything was to dispel the myth that Spain is just a land of sunshine, beaches, paella and sangria it would be the picturesque countryside of the North West.
Imagine it – rolling hills, green pastures, farmland and woodland that eventually breaks into the sea peppered by beautiful hamlets, it is safe to say that it is certainly one of the most beautiful parts of Spain.
Unspoilt by busy cities and tourism, this part of Spain is utterly unique and very traditional. Food seems to have humble origins but with delicious results.
The Basque country resides here, which is famous for its culinary culture and traditions. The wet climate makes the fishing and livestock industries one of the primary economy sources. Expect dishes like Galician Octopus, Croquetas de Chipiron (squid ink croquettes), Seabass in garlic and Spanish paprika sauce and of course the Basque-favourite Pinxtos.
