Paramoudras circular from the Fortress of Guadalupe
This is a variation of the "Paramoudras from Our Lady of Guadalupe" walk, which extends farther from the starting point. It adds some more kilometres, but awards with beautiful sandstone sculptures made by wind and water. It also adds two descents that not everybody would be comfortable with, but nothing too bad. We were happy that we missed the turn from the original route and felt that this added a lot of value to the walk.

A lovely walk with stunning scenery
Quite challenging, with some sections requiring the use of a rope
The start was impassable as it was overgrown with brambles and some of the paths were hard to find
I don’t regret it though – it was truly magnificent!!

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.
