Nestled just outside of San Sebastián, the small village of Astigarraga, home to around 6,000 people, stands as the heart of Basque Country’s renowned apple cider industry. This compact town has a long-standing tradition of cider making, dating back many centuries. Visitors can explore the thriving farm-style cider houses, known as sagardotegi in Basque, where they can enjoy the effervescent, fermented beverage paired with hearty, generously portioned meals.
