Overview

Hondarribia is at the French border — the mouth of the Bidasoa river separating Spain from France (Hendaye on the other side). Sheltered bay facing NW. Sandy beach with moderate waves. Less exposed than the open coast — protected by the Jaizkibel mountain. NW-N wind. Good views of the French Basque coast. Charming medieval old town. Intermediate. Can combine with Hendaye (France) on the other side of the river.
