A morning wind off La Concha nudges the group onto slim city streets as electric motors quietly hum beneath your pedals. The ride peels away from the tourist tide into green folds of Basque countryside; low hedgerows and oak copses pass with the steady encouragement of the e‑assist as the city’s bay shrinks behind you.

Bring a small daypack

Cider houses serve set menus; notify the operator ahead for vegetarian or allergy accommodations.
