Bilbao Restaurant Tips by DanielF

Land of great cooks

The Basque Country is a Meccah for gourmets in Spain. Although restaurants in neighboring province Gipuzkoa are better known, Bilbao boasts a number of excellent restaurants who prepare the delicious local recipees.

And of course, a delicacy I've never found out of Spain: the Kokotxas...
