You’ll want to plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Basque Country after reading this.

This week, we’re in Basque Country with chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho, the chef-owner behind Michelin-starred restaurants Sabor and Legado in London.

Nieves is one of the most celebrated Spanish chefs working outside of Spain today. Her two London restaurants, Sabor and Legado, each hold a Michelin star, making her one of the few Spanish chefs outside of Spain to lead two Michelin-starred restaurants simultaneously. Earlier this year, she was also named Chef of the Year at the National Restaurant Awards in the UK.

Below, the Basque-born chef reveals:

• The must-visit restaurants she sends visiting chefs & friends to

• Basque Country’s best pintxo bars

• The Basque bakeries and desserts you can’t find anywhere else in the world

• The must-buy local Basque food products to bring home — and where to buy them

• And so much more

A Google Map with all of the mentioned locations is provided at the end of the interview.
