A wonderful trip to Zarautz in the Basque country, where we are shown fantastic hospitality at a traditional Basque Gastronomic Society right in front of the beach… Don’t miss it!

Ben,
Enjoyed the Flavor of your Gastronomic podcast, as usual, it is always nice to imagine the experience as I listen in.

Glad this one is going down well! Hopefully I’ll get the chance to add another one from the Basque Country this weekend. Thanks a lot as always for all the comments!

Another hit… This one took me right back to a little restaurant in San Sebastián where I enjoyed a wonderful meal of champiñones y paloma y bacalao–in my case it was cod–followed by trufas de chocolate and conversation with the genial owners. Oh, how you make me nostalgic! Thanks & keep up the good work!

Hi Ben,
Thank you so much for doing what you do! When I went searching for podcasts about Spain I never thought I’d find such a gem. I loved this one about cuisine. Please do MORE about the food. I’m going to Spain for my first ever visit in November, and I can’t wait. Your casts have given me lots of ideas for things to do that I couldn’t have found in any travel guide.

Just getting through all the podcasts after discovering them a few days ago and this Podcast 16 from the Basque gastronomic society was truly superb. I know the region well and I just could feel myself there instead of in drizzly miserable London. Thanks so much for this although I feel a bit depressed now – maybe the podcasts should come with a health warning! By the way, I’d also recommend the next town along called Guetaria.

Glad you liked this one! We did make it round to Guetaria but unfortunately didn’t manage to podcast it – lovely place though.

Great show. My husband & I are going to the Basque Country next summer and this is the first podcast I listen too. I hope you have others and I hope I can find more great info online.
Thanks!
