Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey to the heart of the Basque Country. Our first stop is a charming 16th-century Basque farmhouse, once used as a cider press, where you’ll uncover the secrets of traditional rural life. Learn how the locals lived, worked, and connected with each other, from their customs to their beliefs, food, and entertainment.
Experience an interactive activity where you’ll step on apples with special tools, creating rhythms similar to the Txalaparta (Basque percussion), while singing and having fun. Afterward, enjoy a tasting of the natural, organic Basque apple juice we’ve just made ourselves.
Next, we’ll head to San Sebastián for a panoramic tour with stunning views from Mount Igueldo, followed by a leisurely walk through the Old Town, with free time for lunch. In the afternoon, we’ll drive along the beautiful Gipuzkoan coast, passing by Zarautz and stopping in Getaria for a charming stroll through its picturesque streets.
