Two-night stay with experience-workshop with ovella galega wool, of local origin. A few years ago we decided to take advantage of the sheep wool that some neighbors had to throw away because it no longer had a commercial outlet. In this workshop we talked about the importance of native sheep breeds, their role in biomass control and regenerative agriculture initiatives. We will also talk about the importance of taking advantage of local resources, and one as good as wool, its multiple uses (in agriculture, bio-construction or weaving), depending on the type of wool we have. We will have an introductory workshop to the artisanal processing of wool, from the fleece to obtain a thread with which to weave, or a piece of felt.

This 5-day itinerary immerses you in the natural and cultural beauty of Euskadi, from the Gorbeia Mountains to the coast of Urdaibai, through two protected nature reserves in Alava and Bizkaia.

We will see the different steps in the elaboration and aging of wine, orujo and liquors (fermentation, distillation, aging, etc.) and we will also see the different vineyard planting frames.From the vineyard, there will be an interpretation of the Lebana landscape, with the imposing Picos de Europa in the background. If we are lucky, we can observe the abundant fauna that inhabits the environment (roe deer, deer, wild boar, eagle, buzzard, etc.). And if not, we will surely see the traces of their passage through the vineyard (footprints, eaten or scavenged vines, pecked grapes, etc.). At the end of the visit, we will taste the wines and liquors that we produce along with local products (cheese and sausage in the morning or sweets in the afternoon). This tasting is commented, analyzing the sensations that we perceive with our senses, sight, smell and taste. Sierra del Oso is committed to the recovery and enhancement of old vineyards, as well as expanding its plantations to maintain the link with the territory and local employment. We also collaborate with scientific ecotourism through the Brown Bear Foundation, a foundation closely linked to the territory and committed to a species present in our mountains.
