How to get there: From Saint-Jean-de-Luz, head towards Hendaye via Ciboure and Socoa (D912, known as the Route de la Corniche). Pass the hamlet of Haiçaba and park much further on at the Ascoubia Fagady car park (not the campsite car park, which is private!)
(S/E) On leaving the car park, cross the D912 road to the right and follow the cycle path until you reach an opening in the embankment. Head down the path behind the embankment, away from the traffic, and follow this path until you reach the well-maintained stony track. Go to the left of the building called Asporotza and continue along the wide path on the left for a few metres. Turn left and head towards the next junction.
(1) Turn right, then quickly left, and continue along the path to the next junction.
(2) Turn right. 300 m after the last T-junction leading into the forest, a small path on the right offers a view of Loya Bay.
(3) At this junction, from where you can see the castle behind you and the Maison de la Lande opposite, take the path on the right along a meadow with a low fence (several views of the Corniche). Walk under the trees, then through heathland. Continue to Pointe Sainte-Anne.
(4) Walk back down from Pointe Sainte-Anne, then take the small path on the right.
(5) At the edge of the woods, the main path moves away from the coast; take the path on the right. Walk past the blockhouses and, at the next junction, turn right. Walk along the coast; a magnificent view of Hendaye opens up. Follow the path to the next junction on the right.
(6) You can take a detour along the cliff edge for the view or go straight on (route described). In this case, pass two small crossroads, then turn left onto the stony path and you will arrive in front of the Maison de la Lande.
(7) Continue straight on, passing two crossroads (one stone and one grassy) and head straight on until you reach a wooden gate on your right (close-up view of the castle).
(8) At the wooden gate, continue along the path until you reach the crossroads from the outward journey.
(2) Continue to the right along the path you took on the way there. At the edge of the woods, turn right and you’ll reach the next fork.
(1) Turn right into the forest and follow the wide path to the road (D912, Route de la Corniche).
Head downhill to the left along the cycle path for 150 m and you will find the car park where you started opposite (S/E).
