An excursion to walk, among forests and cliffs, to a lighthouse done up like a medieval castle. What else? Some crazy people who build a 16th century ship with traditional techniques, a fjord that must be crossed by boat, a Venetian town that the writer of Les Miserables fell in love with, and a reasonably high mountain by the sea. More? A half-fishing and half-medieval town that whetted the appetite of the New York Times itself.

Explore the best the Basque Country has to offer, and learn to surf on one of the longest beach breaks in Spain. While San Sebastian may have the big name, Zarautz is renowned around these parts as where the surfers go to surf. With a curved beach dynamic that allows both big and small waves to break along the same section of sand, there are plenty of waves to please everyone. 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. Back at the house we'll practice yoga with our fully qualified instructor, and spend the rest of the afternoon playing table tennis, relaxing in the sun, kicking it on the balcony or making full use of our in-house bar.
