• Sagues Skate Park - Guests will be picked up in the morning and taken on a walk to the Gros district. From Sagües, they will begin the hike up Mount Ulia, which is part of the coastal pilgrimage known in Spain as the ‘Camino de Santiago’ or St. James Way in English.
• Mount Ulia - This trail is locally referred to as the ‘Ruta del Faro de la Plata’ because it passes by the lighthouse (Spanish: faro) built in 1855 at the entrance to the port of Pasajes. Visitors will walk along a rocky coast, passing stunning coves, rugged cliffs, and artistically shaped sandstone formations. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Mount Ulia was a crucial lookout for migrating whales, making it an ideal spot to learn about the ocean’s significant role in Basque life.
• Albaola, The Sea Factory of the Basques - The coastal path will eventually lead to the village of San Pedro. Here, visitors can explore Albaola - the sea factory of the Basques. This museum and shipyard showcases local engineers and carpenters constructing a replica of a 16th-century whaling ship using only traditional techniques!
• Pasai Donibane - From San Pedro, guests will board a small boat to the twin village of San Juan, located across the channel. They will enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of this medieval fishing village and savor a 3-course traditional Basque lunch with a bottle of local wine! Topa (cheers)!
• Jaizkibel - After uncovering colorful tales of Basque sailors, pirates, and whalers, guests will be driven to Hondarribia. The journey includes a scenic drive along Mount Jaizkibel. Standing at 457 meters, Jaizkibel is one of the major biodiversity areas on the Cantabrian Coast, offering breathtaking views from its summit!
• Historic Center of Hondarribia - Hondarribia awaits! It’s time to explore this charming town located right on the French border. Visitors will tour the fortified part of Hondarribia, where narrow streets, flower-draped balconies, and medieval charm create a unique atmosphere and cultural context. There will also be an opportunity to discover a hidden collection of Rubens tapestries in the castle of Emperor Charles V.
• Marina Arriba Monte - Next, the journey continues to the fishermen’s village called Marina, where the elderly gather on benches along San Pedro Street, bustling with pintxo bars. The colorful buildings along this promenade were once old fish markets and fishermen’s huts.
