Manex and his companion are curing the sheep cheese.
Agur, is how we say hello in the 7 provinces of Pays Basque. We visit the three provinces which are in France. We will spend two days in Labour, two days in Basse Navarre and two days in Soule. Sometimes during our walk we will cross the Spanish border.
Pays Basque
Here on the Spanish border, where the Pyrenees mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean, are the Basque People, proud and passionate with a fascinating culture. From St Jean de Luz, a picturesque fishing port with a long history of piracy, enjoy the drive through the chestnut covered slopes to the exquisite villages inland.
A walk across the Spanish border takes you into another time. Answer the traditional Basque songs sung by our friends with one of your own, around the dinner table.
Walk through the dramatic contrasts of Basque country, where you may catch a glimpse of the rare Vulture, the Vautour Fauve.
On the pathway of the pilgrims of Compostelle, meet the shepherd who moves his herds across the slopes. Take time to visit his 'Cayolard', hut high in the mountains where he makes sheep's milk cheese. Sitting at the hut's door, enjoy the stunning scenery of the high peaks.
