Its cobblestone streets and stone buildings are transformed into a canvas of autumn. With its golden leaves that crunch underfoot and the aroma of burning wood in the chimneys, Ezcaray becomes a true autumn paradise. From Casa Masip we want to make you participate in this small autumn paradise.
One of the main attractions of autumn in Ezcaray is its spectacular range of colors. The trees that surround the town are dyed in warm tones, creating a landscape that seems straight out of a story. The oaks, chestnuts and beeches are dressed in yellow, red and orange leaves, and the contrast with the intense green of the meadows and mountains is impressive. If you stay at Casa Masip you will only have to come and enjoy.
