Excursion Hondarribia & basque gastronomy tour at San Sebastian

Discover the charm of Hondarribia, a picturesque town near the French border where history and tradition blend seamlessly. The town is divided into two distinct areas: the upper medieval quarter, with its narrow cobblestone streets, carved eaves, and elegant balconies, and the lower fishermen’s district, exuding a relaxed, local atmosphere.

Hondarribia Walking Tour

Your experience begins with a 45-minute drive to Hondarribia, followed by an approximate one hour guided visit through the medieval quarter. Stroll along winding streets and gentle inclines leading to the historic Parador, a former defensive tower built to protect the town from French invasions.

Basque Tasting Experience

After exploring, step into a local restaurant for a tasting experience, where you’ll savor authentic Basque specialties prepared and presented by the chef. Finally, enjoy a 45-minute return drive to the pier, reflecting on a day filled with culture and flavor.

The tour is not suitable for guests who utilise a wheelchair or have limited mobility. Dress casually and wear comfortable walking shoes; bring along your preferred sun protection. Lunch is a set menu featuring chef’s selection of local ingredients and cuisine. The order of sights and activities may vary.
