And, of course, he samples the local cuisine, giving some new things to try.\u00a0 In particular, he delves into the pintxo bar-hopping scene, which any visitor to the Basque Country absolutely <strong>must<\/strong> experience. He also delves into some odd tangents, such as growing marijuana.\u00a0 His tour takes him from Donostia to Gernika to Bilbao to Bainoa and finally to St-Jean-de-Luz.<\/p>\n<p>The segment is available for free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulu.com\/watch\/201192\/rick-steves-europe-basque-country\">here on Hulu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve never been to the Basque Country and are considering your first visit, you might have no idea of where to start your tour.\u00a0 Or if you&#8217;ve been several times to see family, you might want to break out of the routine of visiting the family baserria and find something new.\u00a0 Rick Steves, &#8220;America&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8,16,7],"tags":[22,126,478],"class_list":["post-563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-euskadi","category-food","category-travel","tag-basque-country","tag-pintxos","tag-rick-steves"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2sYNu-95","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buber.net\/Basque\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
