FeelFree offers you a simple walk combined with a visit to a typical txakoli winery.
We will leave Donostia - San Sebastian and head to the coastal town of Zumaia, where we will go on a fabulous hike to enjoy a unique geological formation in the world: its famous flysch, global geological heritage.
After a walk of about two hours, we will move to the charming village of Getaria and visit the facilities of one of the wineries in town. This wine has been consumed for centuries in these coastal towns, but it has been in recent years when it has experienced its peak, its great “boom”.
The charming fisherman's village is also the birthplace of Juan Sebastián Elcano (Getaria, 1487-1526), the first man to sail around the world. It is probably one of the medieval historical centres that best reflects the passing of time. We are definitely at a privileged place in the province of Gipuzkoa.
Here, we can also enjoy a wine and eat the typical local menu. After Getaria, we will visit the neighbour town of Zumaia, then back to Donostia - San Sebastian again.
Ernes is a wonderful tour guide! He is multi-lingual and very proficient with English. That was helpful for us as our Spanish is a bit rusty. Ernes really went out of his way to make sure that our tour was perfect. At every step of the way he was willing to make last minute changes according to our wishes. We spent a most wonderful day visiting a Txakoli vineyard in the Getaria area, including a tasting. We had a delicious lunch of BBQ fish at a local restaurant, and finished with a hike along a portion of the St. James Trail to see the geological rock formations along the water that can only be seen at low tide. I do not think we could possibly have squeezed one more thing into the day. As a guide, we found Ernes to be very informative, helpful, accomodating, and energetic.Thank you Ernes! I can definitely say that if I am fortunate to return to this area of Spain, I will be touring with Ernes and Ikusnahi. We got to see and do things that we otherwise would never have found on our own. I highly recommend! Ernes is a wonderful tour guide! He is multi-lingual and very proficient with English. That was helpful...
