We recently spent a few days in Spain with my parents and had a great time touring around Bilbao, La Rioja and Basque Country. Bilbao is a great, modern city with delicious food and an amazing museum (which we stayed across the street from); we ate some nice Pintxos at a bar called Cafe Estoril, which is owned by my colleague's dad. We had an amazing wine + architecture in the Rioja region that included lunch in a cave under the Castillo de San Vicente de la Sonsierra (which our guide informed us was featured in a recent episode of The Bachelorette). We spent the final two days relaxing in San Sebastian.
Natalie's parents came to visit after our trip to Spain....We just realized that we didn't take any pictures with them!
