The Basque Country: Fall of Art and Gastronomy

The Basque Country transforms into a dreamlike paradise in autumn, when its landscapes are dressed in vibrant colors creating an idyllic setting from the majestic mountains to the rugged coast. This setting, combined with the region's rich traditions, exquisite gastronomy and renowned artists, makes it the perfect destination for nature lovers and those seeking exclusivity.

Let's start with art...

This year, the Basque Country celebrates the centenary of the birth of the famous sculptor Eduardo Chillida, one of the most captivating reasons to visit the region. Chillida, nicknamed the "sculptor of the wind," found inspiration in these landscapes, integrating his works harmoniously with the surroundings. His sculptures, such as the iconic "Comb of the Wind" in San Sebastian, are enhanced by the autumn colors, offering a unique perspective of his art.

The Chillida-Leku Museum in Hernani provides an immersive experience, where Chillida's monumental works dialogue with the changing autumn landscapes, creating a magical synergy between art and nature. Here, accompanied by a very special host, you can discover the deep connection between the artist and his land.

And we cannot forget his friend and major fashion reference: Cristóbal Balenciaga. The museum dedicated to the designer's work, located in Getaria, his hometown, will allow you to explore the archive of the so-called “architect of fashion”.

An exclusive collection that traces the history of the designer and in which you can find a collection that shows the link between Chillida's works and Balenciaga's designs, clearly proving the mutual influence between them, despite the age difference.
