This is the Basque symbol called a lau buru. Historians and authorities compete to apply allegorical meaning to the ancient symbol–some say it signifies the "four heads or regions" of the Basque Country and the rest can be read here.
This amazing dish is called Hojaldre r rellender. It's made with solmillo de cerdo con bacon y queso. Hopefully you understand this - I don't - all I know is that it was GREAT! The first course was finger type foods - bread, cheese, asparagus, bacon type meat. Michael and I were plenty full with that. Smiling that all was good. Content. Finished. Then, Pili brought out the traditional Basque salad that Ana had made. Oh, yeah....done. Finished. Beyond content. Then, the main course - this dish. You just can't say NO. This pork dish was amazing. I know I keep using the word "amazing" to describe most things - but that's the only word I can think of to describe the food.

This was the next "amazing" course - the desert.
I'm not a big fan of Tira Misu, but THIS one that Pili made -
well it was amazing.
