CONDITIONS
If you want to know what it feels like to be a rower for a day, come to the Olympic Rowing Club! We will meet up for the rowing activity at the Oria estuary in the town of Orio. We will visit the Arraunetxea to learn about the history of rowing and then, with the help of our instructor, we will board the trainera and row around the estuary. The activity lasts approximately 2 hours. Then, we will visit a traditional Basque cider house and enjoy the "txotx" ritual for tasting cider in our cellars and enjoy a traditional cider house menu.

Upon the arrival at the cider house, the imposing façade made of steel with the surrounding apple orchards offers us the first overview of the philosophy of this cider house: tradition linked to the future. Half a century has passed since Esteban Lertxundi made the professional leap in the farm of his wife, Olivia Ibarguren. The next two generations are the ones that carry the rhythm of the house today. Napoleon, Esteban and Ramón together with their wives, sons and daughters and a great work team make the Saizar group work every day. Since 2000 they have expanded apple production and subsequent cider production. The year 2004 was a turning point when it came to significantly increasing the production of quality and local apple. Since that time it does not stop. The commitment to the home and native apple has been clear, and has been increasing progressively. The latest strategic incorporation has been the tourist activity, thus diversifying the cider activity and offering guided tours in the cider cellar, accommodation, among other proposals.
