    Thanks to Julien for this extraordinary trip, time has stopped and we have traveled to the past of our history. Accessible, exciting hike. Until the end we are transported. It was awesome.

    Julien is a passionate Basque! As a child, he took this path of the Witches' Walk and it was his grandmother who told him the legends that he passed on to us with rare enthusiasm. I loved it!!🤩

    A great time with Julien! A good 3-hour walk (one way, the return being done via the shorter road) during which Julien knew how to captivate us with the history of the witch hunt in the Basque Country but also the fauna, flora and Basque mythology. Passage through the cave and the village of Zugarramurdi in final point! Exciting, fascinating, funny and playful, we recommend 200%. A big congratulations for the work amassed to make all the information accessible and the storytelling talent! And a special mention to the little game created especially for children in order to involve and interest them. Go there with family, friends or even alone, you will not be disappointed!
