Description
Enjoy the charm of our Spanish neighbour on this superb half-day excursion. Between the sea and the mountains, you'll be able to admire sumptuous views and charming authentic villages.
After picking you up at your address, we'll take the motorway to Spain.
We will start with a visit of Pasaia wich is San Sebastian's natural port. A narrow mouth through the cliffs, it is a surprisingly natural site. This small traditional fishing village has all the charm of a lakeside town.
Then we'll take he route to the peaks of Mount Jaizkibel offers sublime views off the beaten track. This route, more than 500 metres high and with its feet in the ocean, is a must.
we will arrive at Hondarribia a medieval village, which faces France and whose walls and fortified castle recall the quarrelsome past of these two nations. We'll visit the old quarter with its cobbled streets and magnificent mansions, and finish on the banks of the Bidasoa, the border river, with the fishermen's quarter and its famous pintxo bars.
We will continue with a visit of a Txakoli winery: a dry white wine from the Basque region, produced in vineyards perched high above the villages of Getaria (Spain) and Fontarrabie, has the particularity of being slightly fizzy, and is served by raising and lowering the bottle above the glass to aerate it generously. The vineyards on the hills facing the ocean benefit from the sea spray, which gives it a unique flavor! Serve chilled with fish and seafood hors d'oeuvres, and delicious with salted anchovies and tuna in oil.
To get back to your address, we'll take the motorway again!
