Description

Honor is joined by Gorka from the Basque Country; a country that is celebrated for its traditions, with a culture and language like no other in the world. Gorka describes the Basque’s “stubbornness” to keep their culture alive, so no wonder it makes up a large part of what you can get up to in the Low Seasons. With a unique mix of modern and traditional, this really is a destination like no other.
