The moment we met Joseba when he picked us up at the Orio Station, we knew we were in good hands! Even with our language barriers, Joseba was very very friendly as he drove us up the hill to his beautiful home and our temporary accommodations in his basement. The view from his house, which is on top of the hill is breathtaking! But don't be intimidated by the cobblestone ups and downs... there is easy access through an elevator that takes you up and down the hill. Joseba is an exceptionally gracious host who took the time and effort to make us feel welcome. Upon opening the refrigerator for the first time, he already had eggs, a basket of fruit, potatoes and onions for us. :) Joseba's place has a cozy, quirky feel with lots of details that highlight Orio's fishing and rowing culture. Within Orio, we discovered many great restaurants like Xixeria and Asador San Martin. If you're in Orio, please don't miss a trip to the town of Zumaia (just two stops away!) to see the awesome beach and flysch. Thank you, Joseba, for recommending Zumaia to us, and for such a an unforgettable stay in Orio!
