Our journey begins at the San Miguel de Aralar Sanctuary. Uncover the legend of the dragon and the knight, marvel at a 12th-century enamel altarpiece, and feel the ancient energy of a site that has drawn pilgrims for a millennium. Next, we visit Lekunberri. Beyond its stone facades lies a labyrinth of history. We’ll wander past "Indiano" mansions, tracing the town’s evolution from a medieval crossroads to a serene mountain retreat. From here, we take a short, scenic walk into the mountains. Deep in the woods, you’ll experience the Txalaparta. Guided by a local expert, you’ll learn the "twin" rhythm of this traditional Basque percussion instrument—once a vital signaling tool between mountain farms. We conclude with a gourmet finale at a celebrated local haunt. This isn't just lunch; it is widely considered the finest "Menu del Día" in all of Gipuzkoa. Enjoy a refined three-course meal that showcases the absolute best of Basque flavors.
