A delicious brunch as served in Spanish Basque Country
About this recipe
A Basque dish that I tasted in Bilbao, a tasty and simple dish !
A piperade, typically from the French side, is here customized for the Spanish side of the Basque Country. It has Chorizo, cheese and eggs, and is not served as a side dish, but rather as a main dish
En route to Bilbao
While travelling in the Basque Country, I spent a few days visiting beautiful Basque Country towns and landscapes
'Games of Thrones'
If you liked the series "Games of Thrones", you should consider stopping on your way to Bilbao, to at least 2 film locations
The first Film Location is Itzurun, with this spectacular view from the beach
Second stop, Gaztelugatxe, a small island attached to the mainland by a tiny stone bridge, a location known from the middle ages
It has been used as a religious pathway as a 'Stations of the Cross'

Once arrived in Bilbao, you can't miss the beautiful Guggenheim Museum of Contempary Arts
