During their stay at the Caserío, guests will be able to learn about the incredibly rich Basque history and culture and, at the same time, enjoy its natural beauty with beautiful landscapes and fantastic beaches. We will be delighted to assist you in organizing a custom-made tour of the region with visits to local and internationally renowned museums and restaurants. Sports fans will be able to enjoy world-class sailing and surfing in some of the best break-points in Europe and cyclists will be able to enjoy hundreds of kilometres in spectacular surroundings.

While staying at Caserío Pikamendi guests will be able to attend a wide range of cultural events. The Vitoria and San Sebastian Jazz Festivals takes place in July in consecutive weekends, first in Vitoria and then in San Sebastian. The International Film Festival of San Sebastian is held annually in September, is one of the 14 “A” festivals accredited by the FIAPF and attracts world class films that compete for the “Golden Shell”. The Quincena Musical de San Sebastian (an annual event during the months of August and September), is a must for classical music fans, bringing to the audience some of the greatest orchestras and choirs in the world, including San Sebastian’s own Orfeon Donostiarra. These are just a small “taste” of plans you could enjoy during your stay

The Basque Country is said to be the region with the most Michelin-Star restaurants per capita in the world. Guests may find over forty restaurants awarded with at least one of the coveted stars. Having said that, one doesn’t have to reach deep into one’s pocket to enjoy an exquisite culinary experience. Whether it’s a fresh fish dish at one of the local restaurants at Getaria’s harbour, “pintxos” in San Sebastian’s “parte vieja” (old town), “Chuletón” (t-bone steak) at a local “sidrería”, or a tasting menu at one of the excellent awarded restaurants, your palette will certainly be satisfied.

This list contains only some of the world´s most famous restaurants, but the options are vast and we would be delighted to make recommendations depending on your preferences.

Below please find a list with some of the cities and towns that may be of your interest during your stay at Caserío Pikamendi.
