Bluefin Tuna tasting in the most Prestigious Market of Spain

Bluefin Tuna tasting in the most Prestigious Market of Spain

TATUN is a gastronomical proposal based on wild bluefin tuna, from the most prestigious Almadrabas of the Strait of Gibraltar. You will enjoy a unique experience as we are located in the most prestigious and oldest gastronomical market in Spain, with remarkable features retaining its original iron structure from the early twentieth century. The wild bluefin tuna we serve is unique for being of the highest quality because it is fished with the ancient Phoenician and Roman technique of the Almadraba. It is considered the icon of the coast of the light of Cadiz. In this experience you will be able to taste the different parts and raw cuts of tuna served with different toppings, gourmet creations “that the sizzle seels the steak” and that seduce with their flavour. During the tasting our chefs will explain the whole process to get to these succulent dishes from the characteristics of the tuna, its fishing and its incredible nutritional and gastronomic properties of its different parts that are used in the kitchen. If you are a lover of raw fish, you can't miss it!

Burgos - Old Town Private Historic Walking Tour

Burgos - Old Town Private Historic Walking Tour

The expedition starts at The House of Cordón. The Gothic building of great beauty was an emblematic royal building where Catholic sovereigns always stayed during their visit to Burgos and the scene of the meeting between the Catholic Monarchs and Christopher Columbus upon his second return from America. Continue to learn about the rich history of the city at the Statue of El Cid, dedicated to Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, a son of Burgo who was the protagonist of the most significant medieval Spanish epic poem! The majestic sculpture prominently stands at the start of the riverside Espolón Walk, lined by quaint boutiques and curious statues. Interestingly, the two tree lines on the thoroughfare join their branches together creating a unique “capony” for strollers, adding to such a romantic ambiance. Halfway along the street, stop by the Main Square. The favorite meeting point beating with the rhythm of Burgos’s life is a great spot to watch locals in their daily lives and get immersed in their rich culture. Then, enter through the Arch of St. Mary, which gets its name from the namesake cathedral, the first thing captivating your eyes once setting foot inside. But don’t miss out on the portal which is an architectural feat itself with beautiful sculptures from the 16th century. Next, come closer to marvel at the breathtaking façade of the Cathedral of Saint Mary. As one of the first Gothic churches in Spain, the monument has the whole history of Gothic art being exhibited in its exterior. The temple of immense splendor is not only closely tied with the city's history as the setting for many historic events and home to royal tombs but also famous far beyond Spain's borders as a stopping place on St James’ Way. Continue to visit Saint Nicholas of Bari, which has the best altarpiece in the city despite being the second fiddle to the imposing cathedral. The life of Saint Nicolas is gorgeously depicted in incredibly intricate detail on the magnificent altarpiece dominating the simplistic nave of the church. The final destination is a bit of a climb: the St. Stephen's Stairs, running along the historic walls and leading to the ruins of Burgos castle perched atop San Miguel Hill. But once arriving, you can take a break enjoying picturesque views of the Old Town from above or explore the weathered fortress in your own way.

Burgos: Bela Winery - Villalba de Duero

Bela is a tribute to the founders of CVNE, in the form of unique vineyards and winery. All this makes it a unique place for the production and aging of the most special wines of Ribera del Duero. Bela was born in 2017 in Villalba de Duero, when CVNE settles in Ribera de Duero to create a new project, based on the vineyard owned in different villages of the appellation of origin. The result is an avant-garde winery, which rises grandly in the middle of the appellation's plain, with a combination of wood and glass. Immense wooden pillars delimit the more than 6,000 square meters of the winery, where the subway barrel room, capable of housing up to 10,000 barrels, the winemaking hall and the tasting room stand out. At the entrance, a terrace and a green roof welcome visitors. All of this is surrounded by more than 74 hectares of vineyards.
