🌊 Welcome to Hondarribia! 🏰

This charming coastal town in Basque Country is brimming with history, culture, and stunning landscapes. Here are five top things to do during your visit:

1. 🏰 Explore the Historic Old Town: Wander through the cobblestone streets of the medieval Old Town, characterized by colorful Basque houses adorned with wooden balconies. Discover hidden gems around every corner and soak in the rich architectural heritage.

2. 🍽️ Indulge in Basque Cuisine: Treat your taste buds to the delicious flavors of Basque cuisine at the town's many restaurants and pintxo bars. From fresh seafood to savory pintxos (Basque tapas), culinary delights await at every turn.

3. ⛵️ Visit the Marina: Take a stroll along the picturesque marina, where you can admire beautiful boats bobbing in the harbor and soak in panoramic views of the Bay of Biscay. Stop by waterfront cafes for a refreshing drink and enjoy the maritime atmosphere.

4. 🏖️ Relax on Hondarribia Beaches: Unwind on the golden sands of Hondarribia's beaches, such as Playa de Hondarribia and Playa de Hendaye (located just across the border in France). Whether you're sunbathing, swimming, or building sandcastles, the tranquil waters beckon for a relaxing day by the sea.

5. 🏰 Visit the Castle of Charles V: Explore the imposing Castle of Charles V, perched atop a hill overlooking the town and offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and coastline. Dive into history as you wander through the castle's fortifications and learn about its storied past.
