Description
Private Basque Cheese & Cider Experience from San Sebastián Discover two authentic pillars of Basque rural life in one private day. Your guide picks you up in San Sebastián and takes you into the green Larraun valley to visit a family cheese farm producing Idiazabal cheese from Latxa sheep milk.
