We arranged a tour at the last minute through our hotel which was a short but very uphill walk away. The tour consisted of an explanation of the growing process of the grapes then an indoor tour of the processing of the grapes to the bottling plant and then finally a fabulous tasting with some lovely anchovies ,bread and olives and three different varieties of txakoli . The tour was made very special as there was only one other couple with us which meant it was very personal and also the guide was extremely knowledgeable and also answered all our questions.

We had no idea this lovely place was here and just lucked upon it when looking for something to do in Azpeitia. The towered house is the birthplace of Saint Ignacio de Loyola in 1491 and the adjacent sanctuary, a round basilica, very impressive was built over a century later.

This is a really great science museum, full of interactive exhibits such as an exhibition of plasticised body parts and even a live animal display (which was only available for an hour, so the animals presumably had more space to roam around during the rest of the day)! It managed to make topics that usually bore our children, such as electricity or levers, very engaging and fun. It's easily reached from the centre of town by bus, and you could easily stay for 3-4 hours. There's a restaurant next door that does really good Spanish food including tapas, without being over-priced as some museum restaurants can be. All the descriptions are in English and French as well as Spanish and Basque. We went there expecting it to be a small-town museum but it compares very well to science museums in other European capital cities!
