  • Farm-To-Family / Adv. in Basque Country 2014
    BASQUE FAMILY BONDS Farm-to-Family Adventures in the Deep Heart of Basque Country 2014 Departures: July 27 and August 17 -- or as a private family departure any time Eight days exploring deep Basque Country, including: Bilbao, Ordizia, Mutriku, Zumaia, San Sebastian, Beizama and Bidegoian Trip Overview The first things that come to mind when asked to conjure up Basque Country may be the glittering Guggenheim or San Sebastian’s cult of culinary superstars. And while world class art & architecture and Michelin-starred restaurants are indeed fascinating features of this remarkable region, it’s the fierce independence of the region’s proud people, the dramatic diversity of its landscapes and the supreme importance placed on family, food and friends that leave their indelible mark on us. And through this lens of family-focused adventure, discovery and connection, we’ll enter deep into the heart of Basque culture. Whether milking sheep & making cheese on a small farm, navigating Bilbao from the perch of a paddleboard, hiking to a 17th C. farmstead for a home-hosted meal or gathered around the rustic wooden table of a cider house, we’ll experience Basque Country accompanied by local friends, exploring its natural grandeur and experiencing its most cherished family traditions. We’ve crafted this trip with families and their shared experience at its core. We’ve controlled the tempo, minimized travel times & hotel changes, built-in plenty of unstructured time and have even arranged for a parents’ night out. After all, at the heart of our Basque team are families that love to travel together, too – from my own, to our trip leader’s, to our favorite Basque ambassador and host, Pello, and his beautiful three generations of family that we’re fortunate enough to meet along the way.

  • Bidasoa Greenway (Navarra
    Bidasoa Greenway The Bidasoa is a short river which runs through Navarre and the Basque Country and forms the border between Spain and France on its way to Irun. It is best known precisely for its role as an international border and because of the railway which follows its course. The Bidasoa Greenway recovers much of the route of the Tren Txikito (Little Train) which used to run from Elizondo to Irun, and provides an unforgettable journey some 39 km long which takes us through some beautiful villages of Guipúzcoa and Navarre on the banks of the river Bidasoa.
