Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Enjoy a memorable culinary tasting at Restarunt Aspaldiko and explore the incredible Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.


Drive to the beautiful Restaurant Aspaldiko where history, culture and gastronomy are combined, resulting in perfect harmony. A traditional farmhouse, Restaurante Aspaldiko was renovated and saved from ruins and today is listed by the Basque government as a cultural relic of the monumental category. The structure is currently one of the last remaining examples representing Basque architecture.


Meet the chef, who not only provides a tasting, but also guides you on how to prepare some of the recipes of the delicious food you get to taste.


Depart the restaurant for the Guggenheim Museum.


Enjoy the approach to the museum, which is itself a piece of art. The Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art is one of Frank Gehry's masterpieces in flowing titanium and limestone, with sail-like shapes suggesting Bilbao's maritime heritage. Receive a 90-minute exclusive guided tour. During the visit, pause to appreciate the music offered by a four-string quartet playing in the Atrium, with the glorious sound reaching all corners of the museum.

We will end the special visit with a children choir performance, while enjoying cava in the atrium.


Make the return 30-minute drive to the pier.
