Orange Red Sunset Beach Reflection

Sunset-scorched shores

The Iberian Peninsula's northern coast is widely known as Green Spain, its rainy climate and lush woods more reminiscent of Britain than Barcelona. But sometimes you'll find its beaches awash in decidedly hotter tones. The sunset isn't all you'll find sizzling here in the Basque Country: In this unique autonomous community, coal-fire grills glow late into the night, adding delicious char to traditional dishes of seared meat and fish.
