First, we will explore the medieval town of Hondarribia, one of the best-preserved gems of the Basque Country. Strolling through its historic Old Town, we’ll admire the ancient city walls, charming cobbled streets, and colorful Basque houses with traditional wooden balconies. Next, we will walk through the fishermen’s quarter, a lively neighborhood where local traditions and modern Basque gastronomy come together. As we explore, your guide will share fascinating stories about Hondarribia’s rich history, from battles and fortresses to its role as a cultural and culinary hotspot.

Cross Mount Jaizkibel, one of the highest points along the Basque coast, and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and the Bidasoa River, which uniquely separates Spain from France. Along the way, you’ll spot local breeds of sheep and ponies roaming freely in semi-wild conditions, adding to the natural beauty of this untouched landscape.

To conclude our journey, we will head to Pasajes Bay, a hidden gem along the Basque coast. Here, we will take a 2-minute scenic ferry ride across the bay (included), connecting the charming twin villages of San Juan and San Pedro. As we glide over the water, enjoy stunning coastal views and the tranquil atmosphere of this picturesque fishing enclave. During the ride, we will dive into fascinating stories about the Basque whaling tradition, a key part of the region’s maritime history. We’ll also introduce you to one of our favorite Basque sports: rowing, deeply rooted in local culture and still passionately practiced today.
