Zarautz

Hondarribia and Irun, together with Hendaye, share Txingudi Bay, a unique setting where the sea, nature and history intertwine. Their situation as cities bordering France and their historical links to the Way of St. James have made them meeting points where different cultures have exchanged and connected with each other for centuries .

Hondarribia preserves its historical heritage in its ramparts, on its cobbled streets and in the lively La Marina neighbourhood. Set against the bay, the maritime ambience and local cuisine based on the harbour’s fresh catch help to create an authentic atmosphere with deep ties to the sea. Irun brings together Roman and industrial heritage, culture and nature in a welcoming and dynamic city that looks both to its history and to its surroundings. Its streets reveal the city’s status as one of the gateways to the Basque Country and a key stop on the routes that wind along the Basque coast.
