Esther gave us a very warm welcome in her apartment in Azpeitia . She was really helpful in explaining the most interesting places worth to visit.
Unfortunately, we had some bad luck with the weather, as well with infrastructure works outside, which were quite noisy. As it was rainy, we could barely make use of the (large) swimming pool near the apartment.
Nevertheless we made lots of beautiful visits, ao. to Bilbao, San Sebastian, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Bosque de Oma (!), and some coastal villages like Getaria, Zarautz, Mundaka, Bakio, and last but not least Zumaia. Especially the environment of Zumaia is really beautiful for walks (fe. Playa de Sakoneta). Within Azpeitia, the sanctuary of Loyola is worthwhile a visit.
The apartment of Esther is very neat, and delivers beautiful mountain views. It is a really good starting point to make all those visits. So if you want to discover the Spanish Basque country, we can for sure recommend this apartment!
