    🥾 The Witches’ March: a hike like no other! A timeless hike, in the heart of the Basque Country, where legends still whisper between the trees.🌳 9 km guided by a voice who knows the forgotten secrets, those of witches, inquisitions, and the sacred caves of Zugarramurdi. ⛰️ Each step brought us closer to an ancient world, where history flirts with myth.🧙 We loved it, the children and mother were captivated from start to finish. Everyone was bewitched.🧹 And you… would you dare to do the witches’ walk?🚪

    Julien is a really great guide and very passionate. We were immersed in the history of Basque witches and this wonderful site which arrives like a cherry on the cake (Basque of course 😄😄). If you pass by, don't hesitate to come and discover Julien's wonderful world. Adishatz.
