Juan Carlos, with friendliness and a culture far exceeding the planned visit, really thrilled us (a couple + a teenager): very friendly, dynamic, trying to put us at ease, answering all of our questions, full of his visit of anecdotes on Basque history, architecture, economy, gastronomy, traditions and customs... in short, two fascinating hours around a city that is just as exciting!
