Choose stages from the list below and compose your own trip:

*Getaria a pretty fishermen village. Famous for its fishing port and its two native celebrities, the couturier Baliencaga and Elcano, the first sailor to circumnavigate the globe.

• Txakoli winery: a dry white wine from the Basque region, produced in vineyards perched high above the villages of Getaria (Spain) and Fontarrabie, has the particularity of being slightly fizzy, and is served by raising and lowering the bottle above the glass to aerate it generously. The vineyards on the hills facing the ocean benefit from the sea spray, which gives it a unique flavor! Serve chilled with fish and seafood hors d'oeuvres, and delicious with salted anchovies and tuna in oil.
