SOL

A Basque native of Donostia-San Sebastian, Sol is a Social and Cultural Anthropologist, also holds a B.A. in Tourism and a postgraduate degree in Basque Studies. Mother of two American boys, she lived and worked in the Washington, D.C. area for 11 years before returning to Spain in 2000.

In that year, following an impulse, she walked, as a “solo traveler”, the French Camino and immediately fell in love with it. This enriching experience inspired her to found Basqueart with the aim of sharing and spread the Basque Country culture organizing and sponsoring watercolour workshops with American artists.

The following years, Sol walked the various Caminos to Santiago. Taking another step, she worked as tour leader of American, Australian and Canadian groups on the different Saint James Ways.
