Shepherd for a Day in the Gorbeia Natural Park

In the Gorbeia Natural Park, Quesería Atxeta, located in Oleta (Aramaio), opens its doors to offer a close-up look at the shepherd's craft, a way of life that is still very much alive in this territory. The 60-minute visit includes direct contact with the Latxa sheep, the native breed of Euskadi, and a demonstration of how sheepdogs guide the flocks across the mountain. The tour also explains the production process of Idiazabal PDO cheese and concludes with a tasting. For travellers exploring inland Euskadi, this is a stop with genuine substance: understanding how one of the Basque Country's most recognised cheeses is made, in the very natural environment where it is produced. Prior booking is required, with a minimum of 4 people.
