Hondarribia

Why go

The border position explains the walls and castle above Txingudi Bay, while La Marina tells a different story through fishermen's houses and pintxo bars. Moving between the two quarters makes the town more rewarding than a brief stop at either one. Across the water, Hendaye keeps the international setting visibly present.

What to look for

• Heraldic houses and cobbled streets fill the walled old town.
• The castle of Charles V recalls Hondarribia's role as a fortified stronghold.
• La Marina's colourful balconies contrast with the stone buildings uphill.

Useful to know

• Allow for the change in level between the old town and La Marina when planning your walk.
• Keep Jaizkibel or Cape Higuer as a separate extension after the town and waterfront.
