Wander the impossibly narrow, colour-washed quay of Pasai San Juan with someone who grew up there, learning why Victor Hugo called it the strangest, most charming corner of Spain.
What to expect
You start at the tiny passenger ferry that has crossed the harbour mouth for centuries, then thread single-file lanes where houses lean out to almost touch. Your guide points out Victor Hugo's old balcony and the shipwrights' workshops still in use. It ends with a glass of txakoli at a family-run bar on the water.
Good to know
Book the morning slot; afternoons the light is flat for photos. Ten-minute taxi from the cruise berth to the San Pedro side, then the little boat ferry across.
