Fête des sorcières
June 21
Celebrate the summer solstice where Basque witches once gathered. This annual festival fills Zugarramurdi's limestone cavern with music, theater, and flowing drinks to honor eleven years of folklore and rebellion.

Zugarramurdi
Wander through a 120-meter tunnel where the "Infernuko Erreka" (Hell's Stream) still flows, carving out the same caverns where Basque witches once gathered for their notorious sabbaths. The open, sunlit cave feels more riverside grotto than spooky dungeon, but the 1610 Inquisition trials and prehistoric Magdalenian artifacts lurking in the rock layers give this walk real bite.
