Basque Cuisine langoustines, hake, anchovies, tuna and squid to name but a few of the favourites. "Angulas" (juvenile eels, known as Elvers in English) are something of a delicacy and can fetch up to ?250 per pound and the "Chiporones" (Baby squid) are regarded as some of the sweetest you'll find anywhere. Favourite recipes include "Merluza en Salsa Verde" (Hake in green sauce), "Marmitako" (a classic fisherman's stew made with tuna) and "Bacalao al Pil-Pil" (salt cod in a garlic sauce).

San Sebasti?n is recognised as one of the world's finest cities for foodies, whether it's for the endless amount bars serving a limitless array of "pintxos" (the Basque word for tapas) or whether you want to sample some of the finest haute cuisine in Spain.

The Basques even have the word "txikiteo" - loosely translated as "tapas spree", a sort of bar crawl where food, rather than alcohol, is the main concern (I'm sure we Brits have been missing a trick somewhere along the line). For more formal dining there area boasts a lot of choice, there are no less than eight Michelin starred restaurants in or nearby the city and a host of others springing up around the rest of the Basque region. The most famous restaurant is undoubtedly "Arzak", pretty much a permanent resident in the restaurant worldwide top 50 list. Head chef and charismatic leader of the Basque "neuva cocina" revolution, Juan Mari Arzak, epitomises all that is good about modern Basque cooking, combining the same fresh ingredients with a radical new spin
