Discover the Goierri region, known as the "Basque Highlands" of the Basque Country. A territory made up of small villages surrounded by nature. The pastures are easy to see and so are the sheep and cows, which for centuries have been the economic engine of this rural region, which also has a powerful local industry.  

You will enjoy the tranquillity of this rural area, you will visit medieval villages (Ordizia and Segura) and you will have the opportunity to taste the famous Idiazábal DO cheese in one of the small cheese dairies, which will open their doors to show us how it is made. Eneko Aramburu, the shepherd, will show us the latxa sheep. 

The visit will end with a tasting of Idiazabal cheese.
