Does art have a flavour? In Bilbao, works of art and cuisine share the same house, maybe because they are both art. Painting and food. The first is presented in halls and the second is served in the cafeteria of the same museum. The Guggenheim asks on its web site what art tastes of. There are two answers. On the one hand they say that art tastes of crab, good cod, tuna belly or Bresse pigeon. These are some of the dishes served in the Nerua restaurant run by Josean Martínez Alija, which has been given a Michelin star. On the other hand, they say that at summer lunches and dinners art has a more informal flavour, though also one of haute cuisine, at the Bistró Guggenhe

  If you go to Segovia (Castilla y León) and go into one of the many recommendable restaurants and hear a plate smashing on the floor, don’t worry. Contrary to what you might think, the noise is synonymous with the fact that you have just found excellent service.   In Segovia, when you sit at the table, the ritual is almost as important as the raw material.

In the last decade, to eat in the Spanish El Bulli restaurant has required booking one year in advance, being fortunate enough to be chosen in a draw and having the money to pay the 230 Euros that the menu costs (without wine). But today, not even this is enough to eat a deconstructed omelette or to have a glass of carrot air: the restaurant will be closing on 30 July and all of the tables have already been booked. In 2013 it will reopen as a centre of gastronomic research, and will be called “El Bulli Foundation”.   The customers’ difficulties in getting into the temple of Ferran Adrià, the restaurant's chief cook, situated on a hill overlooking
