In today's episode, we will take you on a journey through the cultural wonders of Bilbao and San Sebastian in the Basque Country. We delve into Bilbao's vibrant identity and its world-famous cuisine, particularly the delicious Gilda pintxo. From the lively festivals, such as Semana Grande, to the iconic Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao reveals a captivating blend of Basque traditions and modern influences. Transitioning to San Sebastian, we explore the city's historical tapestry from Roman times to the challenging Napoleonic Wars, witnessing its resilience and post-war reconstruction into a thriving tourist destination. The Basque language, Euskara, adds an intriguing layer to the narrative, and I share amusing anecdotes from our guide, Juan, including our attempts to navigate the intricacies of pronunciation. As we wrap up, I extend an invitation to join me for the next episode, promising more fascinating insights into San Sebastian in the ongoing series "Places People Purposes, where we create connections to our world!"
