In 2008, three friends from the Basque Country, Australia, and Brazil decided to combine their love for gastronomy, sports, and travel into an exciting venture known as Basque Roots. Our mission was to share our passion and knowledge of the local culture with our network and visitors, many of whom became lifelong friends. As time went on, Amanda and Rooster pursued their futures in Australia, while I embarked on new adventures.

My name is Mikel, and I am from the beautiful town of San Sebastián. My life has been a journey of exploring new cultures and meeting incredible people around the globe. From a young age, I chased waves across different shores and encountered amazing individuals along the way. Growing up Basque, I immersed myself in our exquisite gastronomic scene, becoming a devoted food lover.

This personal passion has evolved into my professional project: Basque Roots. It allows me to celebrate and share my rich cultural heritage with all of you who come to explore and discover the Basque Country.

Basque roots offer a range of experiences, from gastronomic tours and sports activities to off-the-beaten-track plans, all tailored to make your visit to the Basque Country truly memorable.

Welcome to Basque Roots, where every adventure is crafted with love and local expertise.
