What you can expect

Begin your day trip with a walking tour of Espelette, a French village world-famous for its iconic chili pepper, celebrated every October during the Pepper Festival. Admire the traditional architecture, lively historic center, and the distinctive red façades typical of Basque architecture.

Next, continue to Ainhoa, one of the most beautiful villages in the French Basque Country. Visit the church, the main street, and the town hall accompanied by your local guide.

Then, cross the border into Spain to begin your tour of the legendary Zugarramurdi Caves, a karstic site (a geological formation shaped by water erosion in soluble rock) where galleries carved by water evoke ancient witches’ gatherings and the memory of Navarrese witchcraft. Explore its most emblematic spaces, a place where myth and reality have coexisted for centuries, inspiring literary works such as Dolores Redondo’s famous Baztán Trilogy.

Finally, return to the starting point after an unforgettable excursion combining destinations in France and Spain, green landscapes, ancestral culture, and fascinating stories that make the Basque Country one of the most charismatic regions in northern Spain and southwestern France.
