The Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao is one of Spain's most important art institutions. Its origins trace back to the first Fine Arts Museum, founded in 1908, and the Museum of Modern Art opened in 1924. These two museums merged in 1945, forming the current institution. The museum's extensive collection spans from the 12th century to contemporary art, featuring masterpieces by renowned artists such as El Greco, Goya, Velázquez, Picasso, and Francis Bacon. Notably, it houses the most significant collection of Basque art, including works by Regoyos, Zuloaga, and Echevarría.

This historical city is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1998. Urbino is known as the “Cradle of the Renaissance" and when you stroll along the narrow pebbled streets you are able to feel the rich history in the walls of the old buildings.

The little town of Boquete offers a good selection of restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets. Since Boquete is an agricultural town, chefs have access to the freshest organic vegetables and herbs. One praiseworthy local restaurant, The Rock, is located on the banks of the Palo Alto River, just outside of central Boquete. The large windows allow for fantastic views up the valley, and the fireplace seating area is a cosy spot at night. "Food without pretences" is their motto, and the menu focuses on locally available produce and meats. Steaks and ribs are cooked to perfection and may be accompanied by artisan beers made exclusively for the restaurant or the perfect wine. Thursday is All-You-Can-Eat Rib Night. If you are in Boquete, a meal at The Rock is a must.
