of culture and history. A series of experiences, which, designed with love and passion, invite us to know the best kept secrets of the Basque people. The 3 axes that articulate tourism in Euskadi (culture, history and gastronomy) are very present in each of the excursions that we recommend. Moreover, all of them are built around the apple culture, around the great Basque cider. Undoubtedly, one of the most unique, deeply rooted and demanded wines of our land. A historical drink of Euskal Herria that combines wonderfully with the traditional cider house menu.     <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/txotx-Oiharte-sagardotegia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19670\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/txotx-Oiharte-sagardotegia-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"txotx, excursions basque country\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/txotx-Oiharte-sagardotegia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/txotx-Oiharte-sagardotegia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/txotx-Oiharte-sagardotegia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a>This gastronomic experience is included in all the excursions that we recommend today.

Experiences of quality, that bet for the added value that grants the fact of being able to know one of the few pre-Indo-European cultures existing today. The places where these experiences take place are old acquaintances, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/gipuzkoa\/que-ver-gipuzkoa\/albaola\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Albaola<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/gipuzkoa\/que-ver-gipuzkoa\/geoparque-de-la-costa-vasca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Geoparkea<\/a>. Spaces that, if in themselves already create an incredible expectation, together they end up falling in love with all those who visit them. In other words, culture, history and Basque gastronomy in a single excursion.

The experiences that we show you below are part of the catalog of guaranteed experiences of Sagardoa Route. A company that, taking the roots of the Basque people as a road map, offers tourist services throughout the Basque Country. Sagardoa Route promotes the enhancement of Basque culture through regular excursions and 100% personalized experiences. In our case, we wanted to focus on those services that guarantee the experience regardless of the number of people we are or the time of year in which we are. That is to say, in the guaranteed experiences. Here are the 5 experiences that have caught our attention the most.      <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Excursiones-Pa%C3%ADs-Vasco-fronton.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19621\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Excursiones-Pa%C3%ADs-Vasco-fronton-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Excursions Basque Country, fronton\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Experience_in_cider_making\"><\/span><strong>Experience in cider making.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Cider houses are one of the places that people who visit us tend to like the most. It is not surprising. Although many of the people who visit Basque cider houses are attracted by that great steak, all of them end up totally in love with the landscape, the culture and the history that is hidden behind every sip of cider. This gastronomic experience is perfectly complemented with a guided visit to the cider cellar facilities. A unique opportunity to learn about the path that the apple takes from the moment it leaves the tree until it reaches our palate. The rural environment that surrounds the Basque cider makers is another of the many points in favor of this experience, a beautiful landscape to enjoy the great palette of green tones that we have in Euskadi.     <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/logo-denominacion-de-origen-Euskal-Sagardoa-sidra-vasca.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19631\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/logo-denominacion-de-origen-Euskal-Sagardoa-sidra-vasca-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"logo denomination of origin Euskal Sagardoa, basque cider\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/logo-denominacion-de-origen-Euskal-Sagardoa-sidra-vasca.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/logo-denominacion-de-origen-Euskal-Sagardoa-sidra-vasca-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/logo-denominacion-de-origen-Euskal-Sagardoa-sidra-vasca-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"box success  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical information about this excursion in the Basque Country.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"starlist tie-list-shortcode\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Attractions: <\/strong>Guided visit by the producers themselves, enjoy the Basque gastronomy and a rural environment that will take your breath away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Includes:<\/strong> Guided visit to the cider cellar, cider tasting and traditional cider house menu.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price: <\/strong>Adults 45\u20ac, children between 3 and 10 years old 18\u20ac, children under 2 years old free.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 4 hours approximately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reservation:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagardoa.eus\/experiencias-garantizadas\/97-experiencia-en-sidreria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reserve cider house.<\/a><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<p>\n            <\/div><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Flor-de-manzano-Zerain-Oiharte-sagardotegia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19624\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Flor-de-manzano-Zerain-Oiharte-sagardotegia-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Apple Blossom, Zerain, Oiharte sagardotegia\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Flor-de-manzano-Zerain-Oiharte-sagardotegia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Flor-de-manzano-Zerain-Oiharte-sagardotegia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Flor-de-manzano-Zerain-Oiharte-sagardotegia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a>Basque cider houses are mostly old farmhouses that have been renovated.

Albaola is the name given to the project that includes the construction of the replica of the historic 16th century whaler Nao San Juan. A ship that ploughed the waters of half the world before reaching its destination, the Bay of Red Bay, Canada. It was here, at a depth of 10 meters, immersed in freezing waters, that the wreck of this Basque whaler was found. After studying these marine remains for more than 10 years, an alliance has been formed between Canada and Albaola to meticulously build, in a handcrafted manner, what is undoubtedly the best replica in history.    <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Exterior-Albaola.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8914\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Exterior-Albaola-1024x646.jpg\" alt=\"Exterior Albaola\" width=\"618\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Exterior-Albaola.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Exterior-Albaola-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"box success  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical information about this excursion in the Basque Country.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"starlist tie-list-shortcode\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Attractions: <\/strong>A beautiful environment, a museum of great interest and a great gastronomic experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Includes: <\/strong>Entrance to Albaola and traditional cider house menu.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price: <\/strong>Adults 38\u20ac, children (from 3 to 10 years old) 18\u20ac, children under 2 years old free.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 4 hours approximately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reservation:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagardoa.eus\/experiencias-garantizadas\/98-factoria-maritima-albaola-menu-de-sidreria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reserve Albaola.<\/a><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<p>\n            <\/div><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Manzana-sidra-sagardotegiak.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15867\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Manzana-sidra-sagardotegiak-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"Apple, cider, sagardotegiak\" width=\"618\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Manzana-sidra-sagardotegiak.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Manzana-sidra-sagardotegiak-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a>The most interesting thing about this project is that the construction of this ship is being done with the same raw materials and tools that were used in the sixteenth century, a real adventure. A living, dynamic and interesting museum, which complemented with a good cider house menu, is presented to us as one of those plans that can not be missed. At that time, the 16th century, most of the cider produced in our farmhouses was destined for the Basque fleet. Did you know that the official drink of the sailors at that time was cider? According to experts, each sailor drank an average of 3 liters of cider a day. Almost nothing. A drink rich in vitamin C that turned out to be the best ally against diseases such as scurvy. The fusion of Albaola and the traditional ritual of the Txotx, once again provide this experience with that beautiful portion of history, culture and history that we have been anticipating. The Nao San Juan returns home, back to <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/gipuzkoa\/que-ver-gipuzkoa\/4-planes-en-pasaia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pasaia<\/a>.

The shepherds and the cider makers open the doors of their houses for us to know all the ins and outs of their trades.
