*Getaria a pretty fishermen village. Famous for its fishing port and its two native celebrities, the couturier Baliencaga and Elcano, the first sailor to circumnavigate the globe.
* Txakoli winery: a dry white wine from the Basque region, produced in vineyards perched high above the villages of Getaria (Spain) and Fontarrabie, has the particularity of being slightly fizzy, and is served by raising and lowering the bottle above the glass to aerate it generously. The vineyards on the hills facing the ocean benefit from the sea spray, which gives it a unique flavor! Serve chilled with fish and seafood hors d'oeuvres, and delicious with salted anchovies and tuna in oil.
*Zumaia geopark and its spectacular Flysch cliffs made famous by the filming of the "Game of Thrones" ! Flysch is a superimposition of terrestrial layers, allows us to read the history of the earth back 100 million years. Vertiginous!
* Monte Igueldo, which offers spectacular views of the city of San Sebastian & its famous Concha, the bay shaped like a scallop shell!
* Hondarribia a medieval village, which faces France and whose walls and fortified castle recall the quarrelsome past of these two nations. We'll visit the old quarter with its cobbled streets and magnificent mansions, and finish on the banks of the Bidasoa, the border river, with the fishermen's quarter and its famous pintxo bars.
* Saint Jean de Luz. We'll visit the town center, with its amazing beach, pedestrian shopping streets, fishing port and sumptuous 17th-century houses. Your guide will cover a wide range of themes: whaling, wealthy shipowners, the privateering era, the marriage of Louis XIV, Naploéon III's reorganization of the town, the development of tourism and Art Deco treasures.
* Espelette, world-famous for the chilli pepper used by chefs everywhere. The Beautiful village lies on the border between the provinces of Labourd and Basse Navarre. This is not just a historical boundary, but also a geological one, as the landscape changes and we enter a mountainous area
