You step off the van with the Atlantic wind at your back and a bowl of warm coffee still in your hands — a short pause before the trail opens. Fifty minutes inland from San Sebastián the land sharpens into folded green hills, farm tracks and narrow lanes that have carried shepherds and cyclists for generations. The guide, a Basque native, reads the landscape like a map of tastes and history: stone walls, working farms, and the low chapel spires that punctuate the ridgelines.
