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

Discover the heart of Basque nature on a bike tour on a "via verde" off the beaten track
Overview of your San Sebastian tour
If you are an active tourist that look for off the beaten path tours this may be your thing. I present you the possibility to ride on one of the most stunning natural valleys in the Basque Country. This valley was used in the passed by a little train that connected Pamplona with San Sebastian. Now a days the railways are gone but the all train causeway is still used by walkers and cyclist while cars are not allowed to use it. We will go all the time close to the river discovering the wonderful places that are hidden in the valley, such us all iron mines, all train stations and multiple tunnels. You will enjoy the melodies of chirping birds, in calming sound of water while being surrounded by the wonderful feeling of peace and tranquillity, all around you wherever you look. This is a place where silence reigns and which brings peace and calm to our hearts and minds, simply put, this is the perfect place to relax and enjoy pristine nature.
Your San Sebastian tour itinerary
From the beginning to the end we will ride 25 km/15, 5 milles up hill gaining 400 metres / 1. 300 feet high difference. On the way back it will be the opposite, another 25 km but down hill. At the end of the track there is a town where we will have the chance to eat and rest before coming back. There is also the possibility to customise this tour making it shorter or choosing another itinerary more adequate to your capacities.
