One of my favourite things about visiting Llodio (or anywhere in the Basque Country for that reason!) is the butter rolls. I'm not sure if it's because it's something I only do when I'm there or because it's impossible to buy butter rolls in any other region in Spain - but I love them!
There is a café in Llodio called Quintana (just outside the centre, across the river and next to the train station for anybody planning a visit) that does the best butter rolls ever. They also do wonderful vanilla slices too, but that's something I choose when there are no butter rolls!

From the outside the café really doesn't look special at all. But inside it's super retro - the orange decoration, the floor tiles, the tables and chairs, just everything about it.

I'm not sure if it's deliberately decorated in this style or if it's just never been re-decorated since the 70's - but I think it's fab!
So no visit to this region would be complete for me without a delicious cup of coffee and a butter roll (it's probably a good thing that I don't go too often!!).
Hasta pronto!
Those butter rolls sure do look nice, that would definitely be one to visit if I were ever in Spain.
