The history of Brittany has always been tightly bound up with the sea It is renowned for its fishing activity, but one should not forget the shellfish culture and moreover the oyster farming. Brittany, which has long been the great production region for flat oysters, has now developed its Portuguese and even Japanese cupped oyster beds. There are considered to be at least a dozen excellent types of Breton oysters. The biggest maturing beds on the Breton Atlantic coast lie between Audierne and Le Croisic, mainly in River d'Etel and River Penerf, Quiberon Bay and The Golf du Morbihan. Off this coastline, in the open sea, stands Belle Ile, "la bien nommee". It is the largest of all Breton islands with a coastline comprising cliffs, creeks and beaches, sloping gently down on the North side while presenting a wild face to the open sea. From Le Palais, the island's little capital, dominated by a citadel built in the mid 16th century, we leave for a short tour of the Island. We first reach Sauzon in the North West; which lies at the entrance to a winding valley. Once a stronghold for pirates, the little fishing port has since attracted many artists for its bright colors and its surrounding landscape. Next Port Goulphar and Port Coton: the stretch of coast surrounding the Grand Phare, the islands' tall lighthouse, is the most spectacular of the whole island. From the fiercely weather-beaten cliffs we discover the Port Coton needles, pyramids of rocks worn and shaped by the ocean. After our discovery of the island we proceed to a restaurant where we can indulge ourselves with an oyster opening and tasting in the fresh sea air (or inside if bad weather). After the opening of your shellfish, you will be invited to sample oysters with a glass of white wine.

Belle Ile, "la bien nommee", is the largest of all the Breton islands with a coastline comprising cliffs, creeks and beaches, sloping gently down on the North side while presenting a wild face to the open sea. A star shaped citadel built in the 16th century on the orders of King Henri II (1519-1559) dominates Le Palais, the island's little capital. It was later enlarged by the Dukes of Gondi and by Fouquet, the double ramparts and powerful corner bastions show Vauban's influence. A perfect expression of classical military architecture, the citadel offers a promenade through the past. Meet Fouquet or the Cardinal of Retz, Louis XIV and the "poison affaire", the Chouans and Cadoudal and many more characters that made the story of this sentinel of the sea. We enter the fortress through the gate (Porte du Bourg) and follow the great Moat (Grand Fosse) carved in rocks to the Keep gate.

Bilbao, the industrial and financial capital of the Basque Country, is situated between two ranges of hills on both sides of the River Nervion. The iron ore mines near the city were discovered by the Romans, who paved the way for the numerous foundries later built on both banks of the river. Today, the city is undergoing a spectacular transformation. In the quarter of Abandoibarra, we find the famous Guggenheim Museum designed by North American architect Frank O. Gehry. This love-it-or-hate-it architectural environment represents some of the most groundbreaking architecture to have come out of the 20th century. We will explore the impressive permanent and temporary exhibits on a guided visit inside and outside of the museum, followed by some free time for our own exploring. On leaving the Museum, we take a short drive down to the Old Quarter located on the right bank of the river Nervion, an area which has undergone huge reconstruction following a devastating flood in 1983 and where many of the streets are now pedestrian. Here we will view the 14th-century Gothic cathedral, the Arriaga Theatre, the Plaza Nueva and the Bilbao Ria, which separates the old and the new city. In Basque cities, it is typical for the locals to make an entire lunch or dinner out of the surprising and delicious miniature cuisine known as "pintxos' (Basque equivalent for "tapas"), a dining experience like no other. The Basque pintxos are reputed to be the best in Spain, with a wide variety from traditional grilled wild mushrooms, stuffed spicy peppers, cured ham or more avant-garde creations. We will lunch in a traditional restaurant on the local "tapas" complimented by local wines. After lunch there will be a little free time to browse and shop at your leisure in the Old Quarter among chic boutiques, perfume stores and cafes before our return to the yacht in Santander.

Once inside there will be a guided tour of the abbey which is an amazing achievement of passionate builders.
