Hondarribia/Fontarrabie walks

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

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.

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

A visit to this very special place where paramoudras can be observed. Plan to be at your destination at low tide for best viewing.

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.

Starting from Guadalupe Chapel, enjoy a magnificent hike along the coast with its strange rocks carved out by the sea over millions of years! Then climb back up towards Jaïkibel to discover the coast from above.

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

The walk is located in the northern part of Mount Jaizkibel, along the ocean to the Fig Tree lighthouse, returning through the forest, Fort and Guadalupe Chapel.

A very beautiful loop with a stunning view of Mount Jaïzkibel and the magnificent Spanish Basque coastline with its faults, valley of colours, Paramoundras and swimming pool. Difficult passages (equipped with ropes). For experienced hikers only.

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.

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.

Very close to the town of Irun, this route takes you into the heart of nature, where you can breathe in the fresh air far from the traffic. You will climb a small hill, but you will also learn a little history as you discover an ancient tower that was once used to defend the town of Irun.

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.

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.

A pretty loop near the town of Irun to climb to the summit of San Martial, then on to the Ermita de San Martial with its exceptional view over the bay of Txingudi.Please note: due to the presence of numerous hunting posts, this hike should not be attempted during the pigeon hunting season.
