The Story

Born here.
Living it.

I am Julen Landaluze Gorostiaga, born in the heart of the Basque Country and raised between deep valleys and the Atlantic coast, where nature, culture, and tradition shape everyday life. My journey led me to San Sebastián, where I studied, became a surf instructor, and spent years connecting with people from all over the world — discovering my passion for sharing experiences and local life.

Over time, that passion turned into a vision: to create something more personal, authentic, and meaningful than traditional tourism. With Aupa Hi!, I design private, exclusive experiences where guests explore the Basque Country through my eyes — not as tourists, but as friends welcomed into my home and way of life.

My Philosophy

Our farmers, fishermen, culture, sport, language, and traditions are what I value most. They give meaning to my life and inspire every experience I create.

Authenticity First

No two tours are ever the same. Every itinerary is built around you — your pace, your curiosity, your idea of a perfect day.

Local Roots

Hidden cider houses, unmarked trails, family fishermen — places and people that tourists never reach on their own.

Genuine Connection

Translating not just language, but meaning, history, and the Basque identity that makes this place unlike anywhere else.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who supports this dream and helps make it a reality.
