For its medieval and walled neighborhood, for its fishing district full of gastro avant-garde, for its views of the neighboring country, for the tips that our guides will give you about how to eat pintxos (and you never dared to ask).

What's Included

  • Five drinks (wine, beer, cider or soft drinks)
  • Pintxos enough for lunch
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off

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.
