Explore the Basque Country with the Kemps

Martin and Shirlie Kemp, also known as 'the other half' of '80s pop groups Spandau Ballet and Pepsi and Shirlie, explored one of Europe's top foodie regions on our tour The Beautiful Basque Country. Staying in one of Spain's prestigious 'Paradors', a 10th-century castle in Hondarribia, the pair fell in love with the characterful region and its legendary cuisine. Martin's favourite 'pintxos' - the bite-sized, Basque version of tapas - was a tangy selection of pickled olives, peppers and creamy anchovies, skewered by a toothpick and served with a chunk of bread. Watch the video to find out more about Martin and Shirlie's experiences or read their visual story.

“Very mixed feelings about this GRJ tour. First of all, the tour manager Chris S was exceptional and deserves 5*. It was a large group (39 people) and a complicated itinerary, yet he held it together admirably. Please note that a score of fewer than 5* sends the review way...
