Venturing beyond San Sebastián - A fabulous day to see the countryside beyond San Sebastián. Loved the visit to a family run cheese farm...delightful exposure to a hard working young woman’s passion for her family’s cheese business.
The traditional cider house was a fantastic experience, great food and genuine Basque atmosphere! Our guide was passionate about his country.
Would thoroughly recommend this tour to those who would like to go beyond the city experience!
Thank you!
