Basque Country
Friday 23 - Friday 29 April, 2027
Hosted in collaboration with Travara
Seven days exploring the Basque Country, our home for the trip will be Villa Katalina, a bouqieu hotel in the heart of San Sebastián. From here, we'll spend our days getting to know the region through its food, architecture, art, and local culture. Expect time wandering through the city's streets, discovering independent shops and neighbourhood favourites, and meeting local creatives through hands-on workshops.
We'll also cross the border into France for a day, exploring a different side of Basque culture and some of the beautiful towns that sit along the coast.
A trip for those who love getting to know a place beyond the usual highlights, with plenty of good food, interesting encounters, and time to take it all in.

Additional Information
-
The best suited traveler for our trips is someone who enjoys both luxury and authenticity, attention to detail and also the thrill of the unexpected. Someone who is a little more adventurous and self-sufficient who will make the trip their own, outside of the unique itinerary we build and guide you along. We provide blocks of free time so you have the flexibility to explore the destination your way because we understand that everyone is different.
-
This curated trip is considered a luxurious, boutique travel experience. Not super high-end, but definitely not budget travel.
We care deeply about how we invest in tourism and aim to work with hotels, restaurants and partners who have a positive social impact and a true understanding of how to take care of clients.
We set high expectations for hospitality and how we can support our clients to have a deeply authentic, thoughtful, safe and fun trip. We love great style and design but we also get excited about off-the-beaten-path experiences that are super unique and which aren’t always perfectly polished or cookie cutter.
