About this experience

This experience involves walking along the coastal path from San Sebastian, exploring forests and cliffs, and visiting a lighthouse styled like a medieval castle. Participants will encounter a 16th-century ship built using traditional methods and cross a fjord by boat. The hike includes a visit to a Venetian town admired by the author of Les Miserables and a moderately high mountain near the sea. This activity suits those interested in scenic hikes and cultural experiences, but may not be ideal for individuals with mobility issues. It is advisable to prepare for varying terrain and weather conditions.

Itinerary

1

Albaola, Itsas Kultur Faktoria

The coastal path will finally take us to the village of San Pedro. It’s time to visit Albaola - the sea factory of the Basques. Museum and a shipyard where the local engineers and carpenters are building from scratch a replica of 16th century whaling ship using exclusively traditional techniques! This is optional but we think its mind blowing!

2

Pasai Donibane

From San Pedro we will embark on a tiny boat which will take us to the twin village - San Juan located on the other side of the channel. 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. There is no way we are leaving before trying a local speciality. You will blend in with the locals in one of the bars and try a delicious seafood pintxo and Basque apple cider. We pour it from high. Give it a go, don’t be shy! Topa (cheers)!
