Andoain walks

An atypical course, with a gradient reminiscent of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "snake that swallowed an elephant". The climb up the stairs may be a little rough, but the journey along the canal is very pleasant.

Superb hike for passing a lovely afternoon and enjoying an evening in old San Sebastien, eating tapas and pintxos.

A beautiful loop on the southern tip of the Jaizkibel above Pasaia. The first part of the route passes through the town of Pasaia via charming narrow streets. The route then passes along a steep path and returns to the village along a narrow road.

We start by climbing to the summit of Munagirre (781 m), then follow a path through streams, small waterfalls and a beech forest, discovering the fairly recent ruins of the old Artikutza train, or very old ruins with cromlechs and superb views, either of the coast or of the peaks of the Three Crowns.

Lovely walk with views of San Sebastian, the Basque coast, the Trois Couronnes, La Rhune and a visit to a remarkable cromlech site.

A magnificent loop through the Artikutxa park, taking in the splendour of the beech forest and the panoramic view of the Navarre mountains via Bianditz.

Short walk around the Arditurri mines.Lovely undergrowth with numerous small streams and paths.When the weather's fine, you'll have a view of San Sebastien Bay and its rocky outcrop.

A round trip to the first two summits of the Three Crowns, plus a third as a preamble. For the less adventurous, the climb to Txurrumurru requires crossing a rocky bar that can be tricky. Nevertheless, it's worth the effort to reach the narrow passage between two boulders that gives a view of Lake Endara. Going to the last summit, Erroilbide, is much trickier and requires experience, which is why it is not mentioned in this itinerary.

A beautiful walk to a "secret" valley in the Jaizkibel, with difficult access, but you're rewarded at every turn by the shapes of the rocks and their different colours, so much so that the Spaniards call it the valley of "los colores".But this is quite a demanding walk, and you need to be careful not to slip, as there are some tricky passages.

Discover the largest rocky headland in Jaizkibel, which juts out into the ocean, see incredible rock shapes and admire superb coves - these are just some of the activities on offer on this walk, which constantly offers superb views of the sea.

A short walk to discover the paramoudra site in half a day.

Signposted loop on the SL-GI-1006 trail which passes at the foot of the Aitzondo waterfall and along the Irugurutzeta kilns. Apart from the incline at the start and the staircase to follow, the rest of the hike is a pleasant, mostly shaded walk with no major difficulties. The spectacle of the great waterfall is magnificent for those who manage to get close enough.

The entire route follows the ridge of the Jaizkibel, with beautiful views on both sides.Not recommended during dove hunting season.

Take advantage of a sunny day to picnic and enjoy this short family walk of about 8km. A bit of road with very little traffic, then a forest path, and then the descent to the ocean. You'll find coves, steep hills, sailing boats, cows, sheep and pottoks.Before or after your walk, don't forget to visit the chapel of Guadalupe and its view over the bay of Hendaye/Hondarribia and the mouth of the Bidassoa.

Lovely loop overlooking the sea, near Hondarribia. The views are magnificent, both East and West.

The typical, picturesque village of Fontarrabie is one of the region's finest examples of Basque-Spanish culture and architecture. With its facades of brightly-colored wood contrasting with the surrounding white, its pedestrian streets, ancient fortifications and cathedral, it's a Basque journey summed up in one town. Numerous cafés and "pintxos" bars line the route for a gastronomic break.

This half-day loop follows the coast from Cap Figuier to Artzu Portua, offering beautiful views of the sea and rocky ledge.The outward journey uses the GR®121, which runs along the coast, while the return is via a path that follows the contour lines, and is therefore flat and without difficulty.
