Introducing Basque Country

The dramatic coastal features and jagged peaks of Basque Country are as free-spirited as the culture of this region that stretches about a hundred miles from Spain to France.

When is the best time to visit?
Basque Country has a new version of beauty to offer during each of the four seasons, making it a year-round destination.

Where to go in Basque Country?
Experience the passionate culture of the Basque natives in the traditional small towns of Lekeitio and Hondarribia, the breathtaking beauty of the San Sebastián resort community, the architecture of the Guggenheim Bilbao modern-art museum, the impressive Pyrenees Mountains, and the quaint chalet-style homes that Basque is known for.

How many days do I need?
We recommend to spend at least a week, if not two, touring this culturally rich and naturally beautiful region.

Alfonso and Uhaina at Basquelands Way planned an perfect vacation for my husband and I. We hiked the camino and they got our bags moved to the next location flawlessly. They set up an amazing guided tour of the guggenheim bilbao. They responded to all questions and requests instantly. And Alfonso shared tons of knowledge about the region on a few guided activities. We even threw a few curveballs at them and they kindly accomodated us. I highly recommend their service.

Alfonso did it all for us! Helped plan our whole trip, led us on a bike tour of San Sebastián, and served as tour guide on a driving trip to Biarritz!
He was an encyclopedia of historical facts about Basque country. We are just lucky to have found Alfonso thru KimKim. He made our visit truly memorable. And we couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable person to spend time with.

Every thing about this small boutique hotel was perfect: The "look"; the comfort of the rooms,;the extraordinary staff who helped us during the course of our stay; the great breakfast; the sweet little bar/restaurant on the main level. All around kudos.
