Asador Etxebarri, a grill in a tiny Basque village, is named the world's best restaurant

The 50 Best Restaurants 2026, announced in Lima on 4 November, put Víctor Arguinzoniz's Asador Etxebarri in Axpe (Atxondo, Basque Country) at No.1. It cooks almost everything over wood fire and was No.2 in 2025. The list is a vote by more than 1,100 chefs, critics and industry experts, not an objective measure of quality. The 50 Best has shared its images with us.

Five cancer survivors set out to cross Senegal by bike and kayak

Vanesa Amigo, Irantzu Pinillos, Noemí Carrasco, Milena Amelibia and Marta García Bodí, chosen from more than 500 applicants in nine countries, will spend 17 days crossing Senegal, from Dakar to Casamance, starting on 24 November. It is the 12th Reto Pelayo Vida challenge, run with the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology. Their message: exercise is part of treatment too. The caveat: the benefits oncologists cite are estimates from several studies, not a guarantee for each patient.
