Information
Experience to know the typical gastronomy such as Pacharán and Idiazabal cheese, the History of the old kingdom and the Camino de Santiago. What to say about Idiazabal Cheese and its production process, in addition to making an immersion to know first-hand the life of the shepherd and his environment, fundamental for that gastronomic wonder that is the Idiazabal Cheese can emerge.
In addition to that we will know the famous Bordas de pastor. We will have the opportunity to enter the Natural Park of Urbasa-Andia, which by having restricted access, we will be privileged to be able to visit and eat in sta Borda a fabulous Pastor menu, in an incomparable natural setting, And what to say about the Church from Santa Maria de Eunate, one of the most beautiful and suggestive churches on the Camino de Santiago.
09:30 am Pick up at the accommodations. On the way and depending on the season, we will visit the Church of Santa Maria de Eunate, one of the most beautiful and suggestive churches on the Camino de Santiago. The unclear mystery about its origin and its disturbing interior enliven the interest of this temple that was a pilgrims' hospital, a bedroom for the deceased, a beacon-guide for walkers, a place of Christian worship and a telluric sanctuary for those seeking esoteric forces- or Pacharán Azanza , which since its foundation in 1810, has worked for and for the quality of pacharán, combining tradition and modernity. This tradition continues to add to the productions the selection of new ecotypes grown in the area, obtaining a high quality sloe, for a very fruity pacharán, a natural artisan product and protected by the regulatory council.
EXPERIENCE WITH THE SHEPHERD IN THE NATURAL PARK
Visit to the Cheese Factory to know and taste the Idiazabal cheese. We will know first-hand the elaboration and a small introduction of the life of the shepherd. After the visit to the Cheese Factory, we will move to the old hut or typical hut, where the shepherd lived from March to October, and made the cheese during the spring with the milk of the sheep fed on the high pastures; Our herd continues to graze in its surroundings from March to October.
The visit to the hut and its surroundings is a didactic experience in itself, which can only be accessed with the Pastor, as the Natural Park is a protected space. In addition to the attractiveness of the natural environment, it is no less educational to taste the traditional shepherd's menu in an ideal setting to enjoy a quiet environment of great natural beauty. The shepherd's menu that we offer on the hut is the typical menu that the shepherds used to cook in their huts in spring, and we have adapted it to our days.
In the afternoon, and as the culmination of this unforgettable experience, we will go to the Monastery of Iranzu, hidden in the green valley of Yerri, in a secluded area between mountains. Grandiose Cistercian abbey built between the 12th and 14th centuries.
