Discover the cultural diversity and charming wonders that make up the autonomous communities of the Basque Country. From small fishing villages and delightful quarters, to long sandy beaches and home to one of the world's top gastronomic destinations—you’re sure to be enchanted.

Sit back, take a break, and enjoy a scenic drive through rural valleys and the lush landscape of the inner Basque Country as you head towards the village of Azkoitia. Here you visit the Sanctuary of Loyola, a Baroque-style basilica dedicated to Saint Ignatius of Loyola—the founder of the Society of Jesus.

Continue along the coast to the province of Gipuzkoa, where your next stop is the fishing town of Getaria. Stroll through the village streets by medieval houses, the port, and the boulevard that leads to the hermitage of San Antón. Next your guide takes you to the region’s longest beach and popular tourist stop, Zarauz.

Finally, you arrive at cozy San Sebastian, a city that features an abundance of small beaches, historical sites, and fish restaurants. Enjoy a guided walking tour of the Old Town, famed for its numerous pintxos bars and prestigious gastronomy.
