Home Cooking, Basque Style

The Basque Coast mountain bike holiday is based in Doneztebe, a beautiful traditional Basque village around 30 minutes inland from Hondarribia. Doneztebe is surrounded by mountains and of course fantastic mountain biking! Evening meals are included with this package and the quality, and quantity, of the meals are perfect for hungry mountain bikers. This accommodation suits groups, happy with their own social life and not looking to go out eating and drinking at nights.

TRIP DATES | BASQUE ENDURO MOUNTAIN BIKE HOLIDAY

This trip will run in May, June, July and September. For a detailed schedule please check out our calendar.

Doneztebe is around 30 minutes from Hondarribia and a short drive from San Sebastián, so non-riding partners with a car can spend their days on the coast: beaches, surfing, shopping, spa days, pintxos in the old town or a vineyard tour, and be back for dinner. There is also a public bus available to take you into San Sebastian or Hondarribia.

It is essential that you organise your own insurance to cover yourselves and your personal belongings. This should specifically cover mountain biking. We need you to pass us a copy of the insurance for all members of your group. No insurance means no ride.

We recommend that your insurance should cover:

• Trip cancellation. We won’t cancel, but you might have to due to injury etc.
• Your bike for theft and damage.
• Your luggage.
• Emergency medical cover.
• Rescue, including helicopter.
• Getting you back home if needed. This is a big one, if you have a broken leg for example you might not be allowed on a commercial flight.
• We will be riding marked trails, with a guide, the Pyrenees trips get up to almost 3000m and the Basque Coast 2000m.
