There’s an old Castilian saying that goes, "With bread and wine you walk the road." On this tour we’ll have the road (to Santiago), the wine (white, sparkling, delicious) and something a little better than bread: grilled fish. We’ll head to the most adorable fishing villages in Gipuzkoa as they did in the Middle Ages, traipse through them, learn their secrets and their most illustrious offspring. Yeah!
