Arrive in Bilbao and take some time to explore the impressive Guggenheim Museum, if not for its impressive late 20th-century art works then for its breathtaking architecture.
Relax with private transfers and head south to the vineyards of Rioja; a 90-minute drive through rolling, unfolding hillsides covered in vines. Settle into the five-star Marqués de Riscal – your home for the next two nights. Built by Frank Gehry, this hotel is a testament to 20th-century architecture and surrounded by the humble beauty of the vineyard-covered Spanish countryside. Make use of the extensive spa or gym facilities before indulging in a Michelin-starred meal – an unforgettable eight courses with local wines will be served to you in the comfort of the hotel’s restaurant.
