Our walking
holidays take place at Casa Latxaberria,
a beautifully restored farmhouse nestled in the tiny rural hamlet of
Azpilkueta, which lies on one of the many pilgrim routes of the famous
´Camino de Santiago'. We are half-an-hour south of the French
border (hence a history of smuggling) and less than an hour north of
Pamplona.
Casa Latxaberria has 7 double bedrooms,
a lounge with a log fire and a veranda with breathtaking views of the Baztan valley from where we
can observe the comings and goings of the local farmers and Basque rural life. We breakfast
to the sound of the mountain stream running through our garden (and the donkeys in the field next
door!). The house has all mod cons - a washing machine for you all to use - but, if you need
them, please bring European adaptor plugs as I'm running out!
The near-by town, Elizondo, has an excellent medical centre
and a range of banks, shops, chemists, etc., if you need anything else.
