Itinerary

1

Capitania Puerto Deportivo de Hondarribia

We will first stop in the fishing port of Hondarribia and dive into the history of local sailors, pirates and explorers to understand the intimate relation between the Basques and the ocean. You'll also immerse yourself in some of the oldest fishing traditions and find out what are our favorite seafood delicacies.

2

Muralla de Hondarribia

From the port we will head to the historic part of this fortified town that set the stage for some of Basque Country’s most glorious battles. Its narrow streets, flowers draped from the balconies and medieval charm creates an extraordinary atmosphere and cultural context. You will find out who were ‘hacheros’ - men with peculiar sheep wool hats and discover a hidden collection of tapestries by Rubens in the castle of Emperor Charles V.

3

Historic Center of Hondarribia

It’s time for some pintxos! Did you know that the most prestigious pintxo competition in the region - Euskal Herria Pintxo Contest was founded in Hondarribia? That’s right! Hondarribia is one of the best places to experience our region’s ambitious cuisine. We will visit two excellent bars in the old part and continue to the fishermen’s village known as the Marina to savour pintxos in another three establishments.
