Amaia: The brains behind Basque MTB.

Amaia is a local Basque girl who grew up in San Sebastian. After studying business in San Sebastian she visited Scotland, planning to stay a few months to improve her English. She stayed for several years! Amaia is our advisor for all things cultural, including eating, drinking and partying. We are told that she has a good head for figures and is the brains behind the business side of our holiday operation. Amaia isn’t directly involved in the day to day biking holidays but helps organising accommodation, day trips and dining where her local knowledge and connections mean that we get the best advice possible. Amaia is the main guide when we head to the towns in search of the best pintxos or sidra and helps out on the Basque coastal tour weeks as well.

Amaia can often be found hanging around the beach bars telling anyone who will listen that Basque vegetables are the best vegetables in the world.
