Discover the Goierri region of the Basque Country, known as the ‘Basque Highlands’. Territory made up of small villages surrounded by nature. Pastures, sheep, and cows are abundant here. For centuries, they have been the economic engine of this rural region, which also has a powerful local industry.

Enjoy the tranquility of this rural area. Visit medieval villages (Ordizia and Segura) and taste the famous Idiazabal DO cheese at a small dairy farm, which will open its doors to show us how they make the cheese. Eneko Aramburu, the shepherd, will show us the Latxa sheep.

The visit will end with a tasting of Idiazabal cheese.
