Sociedad = A Basque gastronomic society/meeting place.

We felt really privileged when our friend Jon invited us to join him and his 10 best friends at the local 'sociedad' for an amazing dinner they had prepared for us. Until a few years ago this was only something that the men of the town did, hence Megan felt pretty lucky to be on the "inside". This has got to be one of the best ideas the Basques ever came up with. They even have an espresso machine. To top it off the place has someone come through at the end of the night to clean up.




















While women are allowed to attend, it's still only the men who are allowed to cook. Megan thought that was a pretty good arrangement.
