Avid travellers, like Charles Crispin, senior vice president of Evergreen Re, will agree that a vacation should not be just about relaxation, but should also be an opportunity to experience the culture of a different place. This experience can be gained by exploring the place, meeting its people, and trying out the local cuisine.
While some travellers would spend a great deal of their time doing a million and one things during their vacation, especially when it’s outside of their own country, there are travellers such as Mr. Crispin who want to keep it simple.
“To wine and dine” is the activity that Hammock Walk Ranch owner, Charles Crispin, wants to do in Spain and Italy.

Spain and Italy are countries recognized for their historic architectures and for being the front-runners in the hospitality industry due to their world-class restaurants. In fact, both countries boast of restaurants that are included in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list.
Spain’s El Celler de Can Roca, Mugaritz, and Arzak took the top second, third, and eighth spots of the prestigious list. Meanwhile, Italy’s Osteria Francescana took the fifth spot. Each restaurant boasts of its own sumptuous dishes and unique take in European dining, as follows:
El Celler de Can Roca - The restaurant has been on the list for seven years and is famous for its palpable yet playful food.
Mugaritz - This restaurant is known for serving food that is “designed to tell a story, evoke an emotion, and bring some magic to the dining experience.”
Arzak - Run by father and daughter chefs Juan Mari and Elena, the place’s aim is to raise Spanish food into a whole new level by creating dishes that offer a multisensory experience.
Osteria Francescana - Italy’s pride is proud of how it balances tradition and modernity on every plate.
