Welcome to Rocadrag… Zumaia!

From San Sebastián, in just over thirty minutes, we'll arrive in Zumaia, a town that adapts, as best it can, to the (crazy) mouth of the Urola River. That same river and other actors (the sea, the wind, tectonic plates, and many more) have created the 'flysch' of the Guipuzcoa coast, which can be appreciated here in Zumaia: a geological phenomenon that allows us to observe all ages of the Earth. And not only that.

Zumaia is part of the island of Dragonstone from Game of Thrones. How? Very simple: the beaches of this UNESCO geopark served as a real setting for the popular series in 2017, skyrocketing the place's popularity. We'll tell you all about this site and the strange words associated with it (

After Zumaia, it's time for Getaria (today we don't want to make it easy for you with Basque names): another lovely fishing village where Juan Sebastián Elcano was born, the first sailor to circumnavigate the globe by ship in the 16th century. Here, another universal Basque figure was born (fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga) and they have a church crossed by a tunnel in what is one of the best-preserved historic quarters in Gipuzkoa. When it comes to nibbling something, we also don't want to make it easy for you: how about an appetizer at an authentic txakoli winery and a tapa on Getaria's Main Street?

This was a great tour, we visited seaside fishing villages, rugged cliffs (aka Dragonstone), a beautiful outdoor sculpture at “Comb of the Wind” and saw the incredible coastline of the northern Basque country. Our guide Daniel was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and kept us on track without being a “taskmaster.” He answered all of our many questions and his stories over meals entertained us endlessly. Even when a bomb cyclone hit the coast, he effortlessly navigated the roads and was able the shuffle our itinerary so that we didn’t miss a thing. Our transportation was very clean, comfortable and reliable.
This tour was one of our highlights of our trip. Ernes our guide offers more than your average tour. He curates the experience based on your needs and interests and gives you an incredible amount of information and historical context about the places you go to. He also makes the trip a lot of fun! We came out of this experience feeling more knowledgeable about Txakoli and wine in general, and blown away by the views and by the seafood lunch in Getaria. Highly recommend booking this tour or any tours with Iskunasi!
We loved our day with Anna! She picked us up in Rioja and meandered to San Sebastian with may beautiful and surprising stops. She was the perfect tour guide--knowledgable and fun. It was a day not to be missed.
We absolutely loved this tour. Ania was both knowledgeable and entertaining. The txokali tour was so much fun and the wine tasting paired with different foods was exactly what we were hoping for. The grilled fish lunch was an excellent finish to and amazing tour
