6 REASONS TO TAKE RURAL TOURISM TRIPS ACCORDING TO NEKATUR’S GUESTS

Do you want to discover the most authentic and rural Basque Country? If the answer is yes, the agrotourisms, rural houses, and rural tourist apartments associated with Nekatur are exactly what you’re looking for.


Moreover, we make it very easy for you to book your next holiday or getaway. You can do so through our website, by phone (943 32 70 90), by email, or by sending us this booking form.


But why choose a rural accommodation associated with Nekatur? Here are the reasons most valued by our guests.


The rural surroundings


Sea, mountains, or a combination of both. Our rural accommodations are located in places where you will enjoy the most authentic Basque Country. An environment offering the best landscapes: the green of our hills, the blue of the Cantabrian Sea, endless valleys and plains, and charming villages.



A rural setting that allows you to discover the hidden treasures of our villages: take a walk through a glacial valley, explore our dolmens, or enjoy the traditional weekly markets.


Respectful and sustainable tourism


We cannot overlook the praise we receive for offering respectful and sustainable tourism. A type of tourism that avoids overcrowding and prioritises the preservation of our environment.


The love we feel for our traditions, customs, culture, and language leads us to share them with you when you visit. Naturally and without artifices, because this is our everyday life.



Our hosts work for the social, environmental, and economic sustainability of the area they live in, protecting our heritage and preserving our cultural legacy. That’s why we are delighted to convey the importance of preserving our traditions and language.


Indeed, with every booking you make through Nekatur, you help maintain this traditional way of life and support families committed to responsible tourism.


Local gastronomy


Basque cuisine is among the most highly regarded in the world. The richness of our land, our family-run farms, and the products of the sea combine perfectly to make our culinary offer one of the most diverse and flavoursome.


That’s why the breakfasts we offer at our accommodations are highly appreciated by our guests. Zero-kilometre and seasonal products, prepared either on-site or by local producers, are always available on our tables.


We also support local and nearby trade. That’s why we buy from and encourage you to shop at our weekly markets, in village stores, and from local producers and artisans.


Friendly and professional service


The people running our agrotourisms, rural houses, and rural tourist apartments stand out for two key qualities: their friendliness and professionalism.


From the moment our hosts open the door, friendliness and personal attention accompany you throughout your stay. They are also experts in their surroundings, so they are the best source of information for knowing what to visit, where to eat, or which places you must see before leaving.


Alongside this warm hospitality, their professionalism is another highly valued aspect. Our hosts continually train to offer you the best service in the best way, demonstrating the quality behind their services.


Legality and compliance


Did you know that all rural accommodations associated with Nekatur have a license number?


This number guarantees legality and compliance with current regulations, as obtaining it requires demonstrating adherence to all tourism regulations (and, in the case of agrotourisms, agricultural regulations as well).


Furthermore, Nekatur’s own quality standards go beyond legal obligations. This ensures you can stay with peace of mind and confidence.


That’s why our guests speak of trust when referring to our rural accommodations. From the start of the booking process to saying goodbye to our hosts, transparency is total.


Wide range of accommodation types and activities


Undoubtedly, the variety of accommodations we offer is another highly appreciated feature.


Accommodations range from private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, to renting an entire house so you and your group have everything you need, or the tranquillity of a rural tourist apartment for a home-from-home experience.



But we don’t only offer versatility in spaces, we also offer a variety of experiences: sleep in a traditional wine cellar and wake up to vineyard views; stay at the foot of one of our hills and sleep protected by our mythological characters; book a holiday in a sea-view accommodation and enjoy the sound of the waves while having breakfast; stay in one of our agrotourisms and enjoy complementary experiences with animals and the vegetable garden.


At Nekatur, we have a wide range of different accommodations to make every visit to the Basque Country unique. You can combine days of relaxation, free from routine pressures, with the full range of activities and experiences we offer, combining rural tourism with cultural visits, outdoor activities, and workshops and tastings that will leave a lasting impression.


Remember that staying at one of our establishments gives you immediate access to discounts for visiting some of the most emblematic places in the Basque Country and enjoying various activities at better prices, something greatly appreciated by families.


These are some of the aspects our guests value most when booking their holidays and getaways through Nekatur. Book with us too, and experience 100% Basque life thanks to our agrotourisms, rural houses, and rural tourist apartments. Experience the Basque Country, experience Nekatur.
