Explore the fortified Basque-French border town of Hondarribia, its Gothic quarter and Charles V's castle, on a private walk with a local historian.
What to expect
You'll wander cobbled streets between brightly-shuttered wooden balconies to the fortress walls overlooking the Bidasoa River and France beyond. Your guide recounts sieges, smuggling routes, and the pheasant-island treaty ritual still observed today. The walk ends at a quiet riverside terrace for coffee.
Good to know
20-minute taxi from Pasajes; combine with the fishing village walk if time allows, but prioritise this if choosing one.
