Ok, so a slight hiccup was encountered

If you think the world of travel is mysterious, try mastering the launching of a website. We are not launching a rocket to the moon, so it should be simple, yes ? Let's talk about something else -

Today, I am enjoying reading about the Basque country - The Basques are an ancient race with a unique language. For years Euskadi (the Basque Country) was viewed with great suspicion by the world in general regarded as a strange, slightly sinister area full of people in a constant state of revolt. Today it is one of the most progressive areas in Europe. 

Two contributing factors: the building of the magnificent Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art in the former grubby port town of Bilbao, and the recognition of San Sebastian as one of the foremost towns in the world for lovers of good food. There are more Michelin stars in this town than anywhere else in Europe but it is possible to eat splendid food at all price points. San Sebastian is the spiritual home of the pinxtos (tapas).

The Basque Country's rugged coastline produces the seafood that forms the basis of many of the meals, and the mountainous green countryside produces beef and sensational sheep cheeses. From a base in or near San Sebastian it is possible to visit La Rioja wine region. Medieval villages are also nestled in the hills and all farm houses are built in the distinctive Basque style with heavy beams and tiled roof. Great surfing is possible at a beach right in the middle of town, or pop over the French border to the surfing meccas of Biarritz and St-Jean de Luz.
