Bielsas beverage of choice might be mate tea - the national drink of Argentina - but he can sample more traditional English fare on a visit. The caf offers stunning views of the towns Stray and Montpellier Gardens.
On a cliff above one of Yorkshires seaside towns, Whitby Abbeys story can be traced back to the 17th century. He learn more about the links with figures as varied as St Hilda, poet Caedmon and Dracula author Bram Stoker.
Bielsa has previously described himself as a countryside man more than a city man, so a visit to the Yorkshire Dales could make perfect sense. No better place to start than Aysgarth, complete with stunning triple waterfall.
Home to more than 100 works by major artists such as Andy Goldsworthy and Castleford-born Henry Moore. Bielsa, would surely admire the creativity, having once opined: A man with new ideas is a madman, until his ideas triumph.
