The Origin
One autumn day, during our annual walk to collect fallen leaves, my daughter and I were talking about the future of our small village in the Pyrenees and its potential growth. Bisaurri, with just 60 inhabitants, now has only a handful of children left.
Maybe, with the right ideas, we could create new businesses that bring jobs to the village, encouraging people to settle here and start families. Don’t you think so?” I suggested.
How do you start a business, Dad? If, after my studies in the city, I wanted to come back to the valley, what would I have to do to develop a business?
And what would you like to do with your business, my dear? I asked, curious.
She paused for a moment, gazing at the beautiful mountains surrounding us, and then said excitedly: Show other people our beautiful land!
That same afternoon, with pen and paper in hand, we chose our Company name: Pyrenees Travels.

The humans behind
Alberto Andrés
Pyrenees Travels Manager
The person behind the trips, the design, the communication… the one who handles little bit of everything, deeply in love with every corner of the valleys he explores and the air he breathes daily in the mountains. For over 20 years, He has been designing experiences, activities, and itineraries in the Pyrenees, walking a fine line like a tightrope walker between the local development of our communities and their sustainability. The rest of the team calls him «the Boss,» although, to be honest, he isn´t very fond of the title…
David
Mountain and nature guide
To experience and feel the Pyrenees through the programs of Pyrenees Travels is one of the greatest joys I treasure in my profession as a mountain and nature guide.
I love the feeling of being able to offer those who visit us a unique and authentic experience: life in these mountains, with its nods to the past, its connection to the present, and the dream of preserving all we have for the future. Bringing the Pyrenees closer to people like you makes me feel alive, allowing me to grow as a local guide, knowledgeable about the environment, its cultures, and the invaluable feedback we receive daily from our visitors.
Without a doubt, savoring these journeys as a local guide is one of my greatest motivations.
Alberto M.
Mountain and nature guide
Working as a mountain guide allows me to forge a deep and intimate connection with nature. Every day, I appreciate the subtle changes that occur in the environment, and, like a curious child, I revel in this «toy» for longer than most. I am deeply in love with the Pyrenees, mountains where the wild essence still thrives, and where the human footprint, which once transformed these landscapes for survival, remains visible and fascinating.
I enjoy sharing my experiences with travelers from Pyrenees Travels because they give me the opportunity to feel like an ambassador for my homeland. My goal is to awaken in them the same sense of wonder that fills me every day in the mountains. I firmly believe that we only protect what we value. That’s why every excursion aims to make visitors fall in love with this territory, so their time in the mountains leaves a mark—not on the landscape, but on their commitment to protecting nature.
Sole
Hospitality Manager at Casa Muria
In charge of Acebo de Casa Muria with over 15 years of experience in the hotel industry and a lifetime dedicated to hospitality and catering, will be the one to welcome you. Born in the small village of Bisaurri just a few kilometers from Casa Muria, she works with care and attention every day to make you feel at home.
Our most important motivation…
We turned our visit to Spain into a 24-day two-fer by booking back-to-back tours of the Pyrenees and, separately, a small -group trek through Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Granada, Ronda and Seville. The Pyrenees won hands down thanks to the scenery, pace, expertise, accommodations and meals provided by Pyrenees Travels (at a very fair price). Every detail was taken into consideration for our hiking treks in three sections of the Pyrenees
