Bilbao Reborn: Festa nella città del ritorno
Descrizione
La più grande città di ritorno d’Europa, Bilbao è un luogo rinato. Fino a pochi decenni fa metropoli postindustriale afflitta da inquinamento e declino economico, Bilbao oggi è una vivace capitale culturale e culinaria. In questo tour di un'intera giornata, ripercorreremo la storia e la rinascita di Bilbao attraverso i ristoranti eccezionali - vecchi e nuovi - che chiamano la città basca casa. In questo tour di un'intera giornata, cammineremo per le stradine secondarie di Bilbao e ci fermeremo nei ristoranti locali - vecchi e nuovi - che raccontano la straordinaria storia di rinnovamento di questa città.

Itinerario
Questo ponte si trova proprio vicino alla chiesa di San Anton Nikolas Eliza ed è uno dei simboli iconici della città. È noto per il suo significato storico e per le splendide viste sul fiume e sulle aree circostanti.
Mentre hai menzionato il Mercato di Ribera, vale la pena sottolineare la sua bellezza architettonica. È uno dei più grandi mercati coperti d’Europa, con una storia che risale agli anni Venti, che offre prodotti freschi e un assaggio della cultura locale.
Il cuore storico di Bilbao, a due passi dalla piazza. Casco Viejo è pieno di stradine strette, vecchi edifici e piazze vivaci, perfette per esplorare la cultura tradizionale basca della città.

First time visit to Bilbao and what a great way to get to know the city and experience the history and culture of its food. Kaya was exceptional with our small group that included a two-year old and adults with gluten+shellfish allergies. She was amazing with our toddler while sharing all her knowledge and enthusiasm for Bilbao and its cuisine. I’ve taken several Culinary Backstreets tours in various cities and they never disappoint- thoughtfully planned, highest quality, local providers and top guides offering flexibility to the group’s interests. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful review and for continuing to explore the world with us. We are so glad that Kaya could share the daily life of Bilbao with your family, ensuring everyone had a meaningful and comfortable experience. Your ongoing support helps us champion the unsung local heroes of the kitchen and preserve these vital culinary traditions for generations to come.
I have done about ten tours with Culinary Backstreets and all of them were excellent but I think this tour was one of the best. The Guide was excellent. Paul was full of information which he delivered with the perfect pace, in a relaxed and easy fashion, which made the entire day so enjoyable. The food was of course excellent which is to be expected, and was used as a catalyst for us to understand the culinary culture and history of Bilbao..
Thank you for the wonderful review and for joining us on your tenth walk! We are so glad that Paul could help you deeply connect with the rich culinary culture and history of Bilbao. Your continued support means the world to our local partners and helps us preserve these traditions while celebrating the unsung heroes of the kitchen.
The tour was good. Lots of good food. Expensive, but probably worth it. But sometimes it felt like we were walking in circles (eg. literally spent ages going up and down the stairs in the market for no real reason) and many of the stops were at places that tour guides say to visit, which were tasty but not exactly “backstreet”. Compared to previous food tours I’ve done, it felt more like delivering a script than a slice of life.
Thank you for your review and for appreciating the delicious food on our walk. We sincerely apologize that the experience felt more scripted than the authentic slice of daily life we strive to share. Our commitment to "Honest Tourism" means we constantly evaluate our routes to ensure they truly reflect the unsung heroes of the kitchen, and we would love for you to contact us directly to share more about your experience.
A wonderful day touring the markets and then trying multiple different pinxtos and Tzakoli. Kaya made it all so interesting and fun! We were very full but lived it all. Highly recommended!

We are so glad you enjoyed sharing pintxos and connecting with the unsung heroes who make this city's food culture so special. Your support truly helps preserve these invaluable culinary traditions for generations to come.
Gonzalo/Gibraltar was our guide for this well-paced tour of Bilbao. V food was great and each dish was well fought through and complementary of the next dish. At each stop the food was paired with a drink, which added to the fun. I would recommend this tour with Gibraltar to anyone visiting Bilbo or San Sebastian.
Thank you for the review and for sharing your experience exploring the complexity and daily life of Bilbao. We are so glad you enjoyed the thoughtfully paired dishes and stories shared along the way. Your support helps us continue preserving culinary traditions and championing the unsung heroes of the local kitchens.
We had an amazing food tour through Bilbao with Kaya today - starting at the markets with some delicious tastings along the way. Kaya gave us interesting information on the founding of Bilbao and the old town. We went on to taste some tinned cod livers ( delicious!) and squid then started on the tzakolis! We had multiple different pinxtos with tzakoli and really enjoyed strolling through the streets. Other highlights were the vermouth cocktail and tomato salad ( plus artichoke salad) and the cheese shop. We were totally full by the end and loved it all. Kaya was such fun to be with and can totally recommend this tour.
Thank you for the review and for spending your day exploring Bilbao's vibrant daily life with us. We truly appreciate your support of the unsung heroes and family-run spots that keep our city's rich culinary traditions alive. It is a joy to share the complex history and true flavors of the local community with curious travelers like you.
So so good... Gonzalo our guide was excellent. He has a true passion for the food scene... He took us to multiple local spots and showed us great food and a great time. Would highly recommend Culinary Backstreets and Gonzalo!
This was a fabulous experience. We were a varied group - 11 years to 73 years, and one vegetarian - and Paul did an incredible job of accommodating all of us. We learned so much history, interesting anecdotes and a real sense of the food and spirit of this fantastic city. I am so impressed with how Bilbao has reinvented itself and the resiliency of the Basque people.
Thank you for the review. We are so glad that Paul could share the remarkable history, resiliency, and daily life of Bilbao with your group. By walking with us, you help support the unsung heroes of the kitchen and preserve the deep culinary traditions of the Basque people. We hope to share more authentic stories with you in another city someday.
Our Culinary Backstreets tour was the highlight of our Basque trip. Three generations, my mother in her 70s, my 11‑year‑old son, and us were equally captivated. The walk blended flavors with stories of Bilbao’s history and neighborhoods, making our subsequent 2-day urban explorations more meaningful. Paul, our guide, paced the stops thoughtfully, tailoring his narration to different curiosities. We left feeling connected and with a deeper understanding of how Bilbao’s culinary traditions and new venues shape its cultural identity. My vegetarian son was not disappointed and we all loved the shop by shop and neighborhood by neighborhood meandering. The early morning of the busy market, the old to new districts, and the ending punctuation of at the Guggenheim narrated a memorable mind map of Bilbao.
Hello, and thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review of your family's time in Bilbao. We are thrilled that Paul could help your three generations connect with the city's daily life and rich culinary traditions. Thank you for walking with us and supporting the local artisans and family-run spots that are the true unsung heroes of the Basque country.
We had the best time with Gonzalo. Every spot he took us to was special and every bite we ate was exceptional. Could not recommend more.
Hello! We are so glad to hear you had such a wonderful time exploring Bilbao's culinary heart with us. It means the world to our team and the local establishments we visit to know you appreciate their stories and dedication to tradition. Thank you for supporting our unsung heroes and helping to preserve these cherished culinary traditions.
