Phil is one of those incredibly special and warm people. He invited me into his home with such generosity, providing one of the most special collection of days on my three month adventure. If you have the chance to spend time with Phil and explore the beautify Basque countryside, I highly recommend it. Make sure to step into the experience knowing that while Phil helps provide a very safe and comfortable environment, you are not in a city and during the wintertime it can get quite cold since there is no electric heat in his home. There is however wonderfully hot water for showers and a beautiful wood stove in his kitchen. I cannot recommend more spending some time with Phil in the Basque countryside!
