We had a wonderful time at Sally and Rober’s beautiful old Basque farmhouse in Durango. This is a lovely building that’s been very comfortably refurbished and Sally and Rober couldn’t have been more attentive and gracious hosts. After a late arrival we were happy to tumble into our comfy bed. Woke the following day to beautiful views of the surrounding hills and a hearty breakfast which was necessary for our big day in Bilbao. The Guggenheim was the highlight of this visit and Sally gave us some excellent tips before we left. Sally recommended we have dinner in Abadino on the way back and very helpfully arranged a table for us at a beautiful restaurant. We were delighted to find that Sally and Rober had also gone to Abadino that evening and we enjoyed a glass of the local wine together, before going our separate ways. After a leisurely start to Sunday, Sally gave us directions for a beautiful walk through the surrounding countryside and villages including lunch at a lovely little spot in Urkiola. Our weekend in the Basque country was all too brief, but we’ll be back and will definitely come back to Sally and Rober’s.
