My name is Gontxu, I was born in Donostia-San Sebastian in 1977. After my studies I left the city to travel a bit the world, then, I was living in several countries like Ireland, France, Iran, Mexico or Benin. I learned a bit about other cultures and towns around the world. After my experiences abroad, I decided to come back to San Sebastian and settled down in my native city for guiding and showing to visitors the magic of the region. I love nature and on my free time I love to go into the ocean for surfing or swimming and into the mountains for climbing or trekking. I am also passionate of history and culture and a good food lover, always ready for good tasting meal :-) I am looking forward to meeting you and transmit you the magic of our region, let's do it combining 3 Basque passions: gastronomy, culture and nature, I am sure we are going to have a great time together. - Wide experience guiding tourists in San Sebastian. - Middle Mountain Guide degree. - Experience living in other countries such a France, Ireland, Iran, Mexico or Benin. - 5 years Business administration degree. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

Overview of your San Sebastian tour

Have you heard about "el camino"? Perhaps you know it is a long distance walk that for 585 miles (940 km) brings you from Pyrenees to the city of Santiago crossing through Northern Spain. My history with el camino starts in Burgos as my parents come from here, a city located in the middle of the French Way. For years I have seen hundreds of pilgrims crossing the main square of Burgos. Later on, another camino called the Coastal Way became also famous and pilgrims arrived to San Sebastian, as our city is located at the beginning of this way. I made part of el camino myself and I got amazed by the experiences that one person can find doing it. I am a complete believer in the therapeutic effects that el camino provokes on the walkers, discovering important and valuable insights. I prepared a special itinerary for you to get the best possible taste in 1, 2, 3 or 4 days in el camino. Let's discover it!!
