Overview

Embark on an excursion to the Baztan Valley and Zugarramurdi Caves from Pamplona or San Sebastian (choose departure at booking), a journey where nature, history, and legend intertwine.

We depart for Elizondo, the elegant capital of the valley, famed for its stately houses, stone bridges over the River Bidasoa, and welcoming atmosphere reflecting Navarre’s essence.

After strolling its streets and squares, we continue to the Zugarramurdi caves, a unique natural site shrouded in mystery, linked to ancient akelarres and the history of witchcraft in Navarre. There we explore rock galleries that have fuelled myths and traditions for centuries.

We return to meeting point, after a journey blending green landscapes, ancestral culture, and fascinating stories evoking Dolores Redondo’s trilogy: The Invisible Guardian, The Legacy in the Bones, and Offering to the Storm. The tour includes a bilingual guide, private transport, visits to Elizondo, Baztan Valley and entry to the Zugarramurdi caves.

Activity itinerary

Baztan
  • 1h
The Baztan Valley is one of the most picturesque and culturally rich regions in Navarre, nestled in the heart of the western Pyrenees. Known for its rolling green hills, traditional Basque farmhouses, and misty forests, the valley offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and deep-rooted heritage. Charming villages like Elizondo—famous as the setting for the Baztan Trilogy novels—invite you to stroll their cobbled streets, admire stone mansions, and discover local myths and legends passed down through generations. This serene, unspoiled valley is a place where time seems to slow down, offering a true taste of rural Basque culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality.
Elizondo
  • 1h
Elizondo is the vibrant capital of the Baztan Valley, a charming village that blends tradition, nature, and culture in a uniquely Basque setting. Lined with elegant stone mansions, wooden balconies, and cobbled streets, the town sits along the Baztan River, which adds to its peaceful atmosphere. Elizondo is known for its lively markets, excellent local gastronomy, and as the main setting of the bestselling Baztan Trilogy novels, which have drawn visitors eager to explore its mysterious and evocative locations. With its mix of historical architecture, scenic surroundings, and deep-rooted customs, Elizondo offers an authentic glimpse into the soul of rural Navarre.
Zugarramurdi
  • 2h
We will visit the legendary Zugarramurdi Caves for a deep immersion into the fascinating history of witchcraft in the Basque Country. Set in a lush valley near the French border, the caves were once the site of pagan rituals that drew the attention of the Spanish Inquisition in the 17th century. You'll learn about the infamous 1610 witch trials, where locals were accused of practicing witchcraft. As we explore the dramatic limestone caves, we’ll uncover the social and cultural roots of the witch hysteria that gripped the region. The visit includes entrance tickets and time to explore the caves.
