We will learn how some guides are historians, as others are history detectives, some can be philosophers that explain the unexplainable, some are social psychologists that can give you historical context so you can better understand why things are the way they are. We are going to discuss why guides are more than just local facts. It's in a guide´s nature to be gregarious and inquisitive and always willing to help. That makes them great resources to hidden gems and recommendations. They have connections to where to find things, an be that translator when need be. Above all, this podcast is about letting these great storytellers tell you their perspectives, strange interactions with guests, funny stories, and fact sand the secrets they want to share with you.

Ep.5 Borja Torres talks about surfing, food, wine, cider, and the greatness of San Sebastian
We are off to the land of Pintxos, wine, and cider? Where the bay can be surfed and the mountains are down the street. In this episode 5, we talk to Borja Torres. He is the co-founder of Experience San Sebastian. (His wife, Penny, is the other co-founder) We talk about why he started his tour business in San Sebastian. By the way, it´s a great story of not being ordinary. Borja educates us on the other language that is spoken in the Basque Country. He talks about how he incorporates his passion for surfing into one of his tours. We talk about the famous food, wine, and cider (yes cider) found in the north parts of Spain. Borja explains the gentle rivalry of which region of Spain originally brought and made famous a dried salted fish. Lastly, we talk about Borja´s recommendation as to what NOT to do when visiting San Sebastian. Enjoy!
