What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Hondarribia, Hondarribia, Province of Guipuzcoa, Basque Country
Our trail begins at the border village of Hondarribia that is also the starting point of the coastal version of one of the most recognized worldwide pilgrimage called by Spaniards ‘camino de Santiago’ or St. James Way in English.
Stop At: Capitania Puerto Deportivo de Hondarribia, Ramon Iribarren, S/N, 20280 Hondarribia Spain
We will kick things off in the fishing port of Hondarribia where you will learn about the significant role of the ocean in the life of Basques and understand our strong connection to it. Did you know that we don’t use nets to catch ‘bonito’ - white tuna? We fish them one by one using traditional methods!
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Higer Lighthouse, Higuer Bidea, 56, 20280 Hondarribia Spain
From the port we will follow the way up to a lighthouse, constructed in 1881 and continue along the coast passing spectacular coves, rugged cliffs and artistically shaped sandstone rock formations.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Jaizkibel, Hondarribia Spain
The 457 m high Jaizkibel mountain is considered one of the major areas of biodiversity in the Cantabrian Coast. The higher you ascend, the more peaceful it gets and finally we will be left with nothing but the sound of the waves and the sight of the horses living among nature.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Herrien Batasuna eskultura (Remigio Mendiburu, 1963), 20280 Hondarribia, Gipuzkoa, Spain
Picnic time!
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Pasai Donibane, Calle San Juan, 20110 Pasajes Spain
The coastal path will finally take us to San Juan where you will immerse yourself in a sleepy atmosphere of this medieval fishing village which streets still remember colorful stories of Basque sailors, pirates and whalers.
Duration: 15 minutes
