The txotx ritual in an old ironworks

In Irun, the cider-making tradition is kept alive in restored historic buildings, including an old ironworks, where the ritual of serving cider directly from the barrel – known as the txotx – is still practised. This experience combines natural cider with traditional dishes, enjoyed whilst conversing at the table in an atmosphere steeped in history and authenticity.

Enjoying the txotx ritual is to participate in a centuries-old tradition that is still very much alive and, at the same time, enjoy the natural surroundings of these places, making such a visit the perfect way to relax and discover the true essence of northern Spain.

A culinary and cultural experience that hails from the deepest roots of the Basque Country.
