Departure from Hondarribia/Fontarrabie (Gipuzkoa)
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 old coastal path along the Basque coastline from Ciboure to Hendaye is permanently closed to pedestrians due to coastal erosion and numerous landslides.A new path, further inland, has been temporarily proposed by the Pyrénées-Atlantiques Department. This is the route described here.

Did you know that a tramway used to run through the hinterland from the coast (Hendaye, Ciboure) to Sare via Ascain? That was before the car became popular in 1936. This hike takes you along its route, based on available archives. The landscape has preserved the memory of this journey, which you can discover during this excursion under the watchful eye of Mont Esnaur.
