For us, the food highlights in northern Spain were Santiago de Compostela and San Sebastian. You could use via Michelin or Google maps to plot a route that includes both cities and research to find stops in between that have things that interest you. A lot depends on where you're flying into and home from.

Thank you. We fly in and out of Madrid and will have a car. Any special foods that you recommend? We have 7 days to poke along so points of interest are welcome too.

One eats PARTICULARLY well in the Spanish provinces of Asturias and Cantabria. Not only can you find fresh seafood/shellfish on the coast, but, inland, you get lots of meats, beans, and very hearty "farmers foods" like "Cocido Montañés" ("Highlander stew") in Cantabria, for example. This is a white bean stew with chorizo, costilla, morcilla & tocino. Mmmmm.. It's SO good - and REQUIRES a long nap afterwards. I just love northern Spain, the great, green scenery, the wonderful food and seafood/fish, and you can't beat their beaches! Enjoy! Saludos, MadridMan @ you-know-where!
