Albaola, The Sea Factory of the Basques
The Basque Maritime Factory where you will discover the construction of the replica of The San Juan whaling ship, under UNESCO’s patronage, an iconic whaling ship of the XVI. Century.
NOTE: A JEWEL TO RECOMMEND (All the clients visiting Albaola end up amazed with the gem we have. They are building BY HAND a replica of a Galleon of the XVI. Century, but what it is more important, is that the original Galleon is sunk in Newfoundland and is the only UNESCO sponsored monument under the water)

Pasai Donibane
Picturesque enclave on the Gipuzkoan coast that preserves the architecture and seafaring atmosphere of yesteryear. In Basque and officially called Pasai Donibane.
A magical place that inspired Victor Hugo to write his play "Les Misérables".
