Join me on a unique journey through the Basque Country, where wild nature meets art, history, and world-renowned gastronomy. Each day we will share moments of breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, and yoga — creating space for body and mind to rest, recharge, and reconnect. Between wandering through charming streets, savoring pintxos and wine, and immersing in the spirit of freedom and inspiration that defines this land, we will experience more than just a trip: a pilgrimage into joy, connection, and true presence.

The Basque Country is a land of contrasts — where ocean waves crash against dramatic cliffs, green valleys stretch endlessly, and cities sparkle with art, flavor, and resilience. This 5-day journey will immerse you in the heart of Basque culture, weaving together mindfulness and exploration.

We will begin in San Sebastián, one of Europe’s most elegant seaside towns, known for its refined architecture and world-class gastronomy. Our days unfold with a balance of mindfulness practices — yoga, meditation, and breathwork once a day — and guided explorations through the region’s most iconic places. From the medieval charm of Pamplona to the royal air of Santander, from the prehistoric paintings of Altamira to the striking modernity of Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum, each stop is a dialogue between past and present.

One of the most meaningful moments will be in Gernika, a town forever marked by history and now a universal symbol of peace and freedom. Along the way, we’ll savor the famous pintxos and wines, stroll through charming streets, and let the Basque spirit — rebellious, soulful, and full of life — inspire us.

This is not just a cultural trip, but a pilgrimage of presence: a chance to slow down, breathe, taste, and connect deeply with both the land and yourself. By the end, you’ll carry with you not only the beauty of the Basque landscapes but also the freedom and vitality that this region embodies.
