Fifteen years ago, I arrived in the Basque Country and knew immediately I’d found home.
I built a craft brewery, raised a family, and spent over a decade discovering this region’s deepest secrets – from remote mountain villages to the pintxo bars where us locals actually drink.
What I offer isn’t a tourist’s perspective of the Basque Country.
It’s an insider’s – mine.
Every experience is designed around you – your interests, your rhythm, your style.
01 / Gastronomic Tours
The most authentic way to experience Basque culture.
From vibrant pintxo tours showcasing San Sebastián’s legendary bar scene, to indulgent jamón tastings and visits to 500-year-old cider houses, each experience is crafted to immerse you in local flavors and traditions.
I’ll guide you to the dishes locals actually order, the bars we frequent, and the stories behind what makes Basque cuisine extraordinary – so you can spend less time wondering and more time savoring the best food in the city.
02 / Hiking Tours
The secret to making incredible food taste even better.
Hike the dramatic coastal trails that put the Basque Country on the map. From the iconic Flysch cliffs to hidden mountain paths overlooking San Sebastián, these routes offer some of the most breathtaking scenery in Europe.
Whether you’re after a leisurely coastal walk or a challenging summit, I’ll match the trail to your pace – and make sure you know exactly where to refuel afterwards.
03 / Bespoke Experience
Forget one-size-fits-all itineraries.
Whether you’re planning a multi-day adventure, a milestone celebration, or something completely unique, I’ll design it from scratch based on what matters to you. The advantage of working with someone who actually lives here? I know the people, the places, and the stories that turn a great trip into something you’ll talk about for years.
Exclusive access to the extraordinary Basque Country.
