Love of cycling has led to the creation of four BTT centres (mountain bike centres) in Basque territory. Busturialdea-Urdaibai in Bizkaia; Izki-Montaña Alavesa and Valderejo-Añana in Araba/Álava and Debabarrena and Tolosaldea in Gipuzkoa. There is a wide choice of activities wherever you happen to be. Just get on your bike and explore the natural beauty you will encounter along the way.

rekkersandmountainenthusiasts have a perfect opportunity to enjoy walking in the Basque

Country. Seeing the Cultural Landscape Legacy of the Basque Country allows you, in a route of just 40 kilometres, to experience a wide variety of different landscapes from ordered vineyards to unspoiled mountains, from the coast to the inland plains.

A GREAT IDEA

OVEJA LATXA

It is so named because it immerses you in the world of this delicious cheese, discovering its production sequence by visiting a variety of places. It begins from the Aralar and Aizkorri-Aratz nature reserves , where the Latxa breed of sheep (dairy sheep native to the Basque Country) grazes. You will see the dairies GR-283 Idiazabal Cheese Route

where the cheese is made and the mar kets such as Ordizia where it is sold, finishing in Idiazabal. On the way you will discover all the secrets of Goirri with a magnificent view of Txindoki, the " Basque Matterhorn". A wide range of accommodation will complete your experience at the end of each stage.
