Top Basque Country Hiking

Explore the best the Basque Country has to offer, and learn to surf on one of the longest beach breaks in Spain.

Afterwards, join us for lunch either at the beach or at our surf house, a three-story converted farmhouse in the middle of the local national park. If the view from the house hasn't already taken your breath away, join us on a hike through the Pagoeta to see the greener side of Guipuzkoa that most travellers never get to see.
