Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are in a privileged environment where you can get to know the authentic rural world of the Basque Country. Karrantza is the last redoubt of rural life where farms coexist with an uncrowded environment.
The house in which they will stay is the living history of the Basque people, as it tells the story of a family that migrated to America and returned with money to help their people.
Estamos en un entorno privilegiado donde podrán conocer el auténtico mundo rural del país vasco, Karrantza es el último reducto de vida rural donde conviven las granjas con un entorno sin masificar.
