Description
We're Quique and Gemma, managing a rural guesthouse in a small town, surrounded by farms and beautiful forest, full of trails and paths to get you lost in nature.
It's a typical old house, fully renovated. We host people the whole year, mainly families or couples who are looking for relaxation, nature, mushrooms or to get to know the north of Spain. Often, we host groups of people who come to do retreats such as meditation, yoga, etc. We have one beautiful room for that.
It's around 20 minutes from Pamplona and 45 minutes from San Sebastian. There are a few buses going to Pamplona on weekdays, but not during the weekend, and a small supermarket in the same town, where you'll find anything you need.
We love nature, doesn't matter if biking, by foot, or skiing, so the place we live it's perfect. We'll show you around.
We've been volunteering several times before, however, we're new as a host, we hope you'll have a great time with us. We're looking forward to getting to know you, and to be able to show you this awesome place!
Big hug!
Gemma & Quique
