At Home in the Basque Country

This time Fran Glaría of Traveling Steps takes us on a virtual tour of Lekunberri, a small village where we will learn about the importance of the houses in Basque culture. To learn about it in person, check out Fran’s Basque Staycation tour!


Fran Glaria was born and raised in Pamplona, part of the Basque country in northern Spain. His passions for history, art and food, led him to tour guiding. Over 20 years ago, he started a small local guiding company in his hometown. This company evolved into designing tours in the Basque region, and also into organizing tours for the Running of the Bulls festival in Pamplona. In 2012 Fran joined the Rick Steves’ Europe team and discovered a great way of teaching about his culture. You can follow Fran and Traveling Steps on Facebook and Instagram.
