What if we follow the footsteps of the ancient medieval pilgrims marching to Santiago? What if we travel the third highest coastal mountain in Spain? What if we walk to a fishing village whose houses get splashed by waves? What if we eat authentic artisanal Basque cheese and canned bonito from Hondarribia while listening to the sound of the waves? Yes to everything, right?
Pickup included
Our trail begins at the border village of Hondarribia that is also the starting point of the coastal version of one of the most recognized worldwide pilgrimage called by Spaniards ‘camino de Santiago’ or St. James Way in English.
We will kick things off in the fishing port of Hondarribia where you will learn about the significant role of the ocean in the life of Basques and understand our strong connection to it. Did you know that we don’t use nets to catch ‘bonito’ - white tuna? We fish them one by one using traditional methods!
From the port we will follow the way up to a lighthouse, constructed in 1881 and continue along the coast passing spectacular coves, rugged cliffs and artistically shaped sandstone rock formations.
