Here in San Sebastián, we’ve got a countdown going.
And it’s not to the BCS national championship, or to tomorrow’s Three Kings Day, which is a day as important as Christmas here.
It’s a countdown to Sunday, the day that our new III Sammic Scholars for BasqueStage arrive for the experience of a lifetime. Ruth Selby and Elisha Ben-Haim, chosen by our prestigious jury, will be the third set of scholarship winners to come and stage at Restaurant Martín Berasategui, with all expenses paid (down to the airplane ticket). They will arrive in Bilbao (and hopefully refreshed enough to enjoy some of the city’s culinary offerings, and maybe even pose for a shot by the Guggenheim…).
We are so excited to welcome them, and show them the cuisine, the landscape and the lovely cities that Basque Country is famous for. Do you have any recommendations for them?
They will be reporting from the front lines, so we hope you stay tuned throughout their stage by following us (and them) on Twitter and Facebook! It’s going to be another wild ride!
