Wine, Wine and More Wine, Please
We love wine. We love to see people sipping on a glass of wine, we love the color of wine, we love the smell of wine, and we most definitely love the taste of wine. And a trip to the Basque Country is not complete without having had at least one glass of wine. Be it red wine, white wine, rosé wine, or the sparkling kind… you will find all sorts of wine, for all tastes and interests, throughout the Basque Country. Try some Crianza red wine with a pintxo at a bar, a Reserva with your meal at any of the Michelin starred restaurants in San Sebastian, an exquisite Gran Reserva at a full-day adventure to the vineyards of La Rioja Alavesa, or a refreshing Txakoli white wine at a vineyard with an incredible view in Getaria.

It’s raining today in San Sebastian. That kind of rain so characteristic of the Basque Country that doesn’t seem to get you wet, but soaks you to the bone instead: xirimiri.

Trekking Mugarra & Leungana – Urkiola Natural Park
A few days ago we decided to take advantage of the long holiday weekend and the good weather that the Basque Country has been delighting us in to take a trip into the woods. We decided to make an excursion to the Urkiola Natural Park (declared as such in 1989), a protected natural area located at the southeast corner of the provinces of Biscay and Alava in the north of the Basque Country.

Day of The Almadia
This upcoming April 30th, the town of Burgui, a village in the Roncal Valley, will celebrate the Day of the Almadia. This festivity, held every year on around the same date, pays tribute to the “Almadieros” (Timber Rafters) who in the past transported timber wood for sale to other localities down the riverbed of the Ebro River. In Navarre’s Pyrenean valleys, the exploitation of woodland has been one of the region’s main sources of income and its rivers were used to transport the wood. To achieve this, the Almadieros would build a type of raft consisting of several logs of the same length held together by ropes made of willow: the almadias. As a result of improved communications and the construction of the Yesa Reservoir, the profession of Almadiero disappeared in 1952.
