Donostia Trip Overview
After travelling from Donostia to Zarautz by train, we will start our hike in the small city of Zarautz, where we’ll visit the old town and understand how the society of the basque coast has evolved through time.
We will follow the very old “Camino del Norte” up the hill and pass by a centuries old chapel, admire vast D.O. Getariako Txakolina vineyards and the colourful rural landscape by the ocean.
During our walk you’ll learn all about this incredible ancient route; but we will also stop at a local winery where they produce the local Txakoli wine in a more responsible and environmentally friendly way. Wine tasting, local sea food treats and a great moment included. We can even get some bottles for a cheaper price than in the stores if you want.
We will finish our excursion wondering between the narrow medieval streets of Getaria, a village that was inhabited by one of the most important sailors of all times and that remains nearly untouched by the time.
