What to expect

Embark on a journey to the heart of the Basque Country. Your first stop is a 16th-century Basque farmhouse, once used as a cider press, where you’ll learn about traditional rural life. Discover how the locals lived, worked, and connected with each other, from their customs to their beliefs, food, and entertainment.

Next, participate in 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 you’ve just made yourself.

The journey continues in San Sebastián, where you'll take a panoramic tour with stunning views from Mount Igueldo, followed by a leisurely walk through the old town and city centre, with free time for lunch. In the afternoon, you'll drive along the beautiful Gipuzkoan coast, passing by Zarautz and stopping in Getaria for a stroll through its picturesque streets.

This tour offers a perfect combination of Basque culture, history, and breathtaking views.
