  • Pilar, a poor tourist guide

    Contrary to the order indicated by VIATOR, the excursion started with a visit to Gernika. Next we went to Mundaka and finally to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. At the points of interest Sra. PILAR Corrales would speak like an MP in Spanish and likewise in (poor) English to the Spanish-speaking people standing next to her, often turning her back to the people waiting for her English translation. Pilar kept exhorting us to hurry up at all stops, which allowed her to get rid of us after f i v e hours (instead of the 6 hours we had paid for).

    This( Gaztelugatxe) was a bit more strenuous on a hot day than we expected even with ample time allowed. We are both seniors. My husband did not feel well and our guide Eduardo was not just knowledgeable about his own job and a great guide but helped my husband tremendously getting back up the hill and even getting us extra water and bringing it back down for us so we made it back up !!! We are so grateful to have had Eduardo as our guide. In so far as the trip.. we loved the history of Guernica and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is an absolutely spectacular place that must be seen ..incredibly beautiful!!
