Private Sagarbike Tour
One of the most important aspects of Basque culture is related to cider. Its production, distribution and tasting have shaped our region and every year thousands of people come to Astigarraga to taste this drink, following a tradition that goes back centuries.
Basque Cider Museum tour San Sebastian
Now you can get to know this tradition in depth and discover why cider is so important to us with this guided tour. Along the Urumea River, with the help of our Orbea electric bikes and the company of a local guide, we will delve into the culture of cider, and once in Astigarraga we will visit the Basque Cider Museum, Sagardoetxea, where you will not only learn how this drink is produced, you will also be able to taste it.
A perfect plan for lovers of gastronomy, culture and sport.
