- Hi guys, today is cloudy, but I still managed to capture the beauty of this amazing city, Hondarribia. Those recommended touristic spots are basically all filmed in this video.
Hondarribia (Fuenterrabía) is a town situated on the west shore of Bidasoa river's mouth, in Gipuzkoa, in Basque Country, Spain. The border town is situated on a little promontory facing Hendaye (France) over the Txingudi bay. A service boat makes the trip between the two cities. The town holds an ancient old quarter with walls and a castle. In addition, Hondarribia features a beach across the Bidasoa from the touristy housing estate Sokoburu in Hendaye, alongside a mountain called Jaizkibel providing a hilly backdrop to the town. A road leads north-east from the beach area to the Cape Higuer, located in this municipality.
Fuenterrabía (en euskera y oficialmente Hondarribia) es una ciudad y municipio del País Vasco, España, situado en el extremo noreste de la provincia de Guipúzcoa, a unos 20 km al este de la capital, San Sebastián, en la desembocadura del río Bidasoa, que hace de frontera natural con Hendaya (Francia). Forma parte de un área metropolitana transfronteriza, la Eurociudad Vasca Bayona-San Sebastián, con más de 620 000 habitantes. Fuenterrabía forma parte de la Eurociudad a través del Consorcio Transfonterizo Bidasoa Txingudi, con las ciudades de Irún y Hendaya. El objetivo de esta cooperación regional es dinamizar proyectos innovadores, atraer inversiones comunes y armonizar un modelo de desarrollo social, territorial y urbano sostenible.

Es preciosa mi Tierra
Realmente preciosa, ojalá podamos volver pronto. Nos gustaría hacer un video por allí en un día soleado y seguro que nos quedan rincones por descubrir.
El pueblo más bonito del Cantábrico un privilegio vivir en el felicidades
I lived here 3 years when little. It was heaven. The fisherman and sea wall.
Rally beauty and amazing city. And great video as well.
Thanks. NOT many cities could look as pretty as Hondarribia in cloudy days.
Excellent tour. Thanks!
I was there JUST today!! Didn't know about the fort tunnels, unfortunately. Sorry I missed those.
There're some parts we didn't reach too. It's OK. 😄 I hope you had fun.
Amazingly beautiful video. Keep up the good work
Thanks. it's getting hard to keep on travelling under current situation. But we will try our best to keep filming. 💪😄
I have a theory that you can gauge a country from the first town you hit after a border-crossing; this introductory place being a kind of ‘hello, and welcome to our country.’ In the case of the Western Pyrenean France/Spain crossing what do we have? Well, strictly speaking, Irun on the Spanish side, Hendaye on the French. Now, all due respect to Hendaye, but the best thing about it is the road to the rather nice beach, for the town itself is a rather scruffy, woebegone border-post, in the way of scruffy, woebegone border-posts the world over. Irun, to be fair, is not much better, having been hammered in the Civil War, it has the look of a place where they built some apartment-blocky stuff, and forgot to add the fetching plazas or alluring paseos. However, in this corner of the world, Spain has a trump card to play. In Hondarribia, we have possibly the cutest l’il border town you ever did saw, if you don’t count Menton. Sure, the town-fathers have one eye on the tourist buck, and, if anything, the place is too prettified to be true, a kind of toy town fairytale place but this can be forgiven. Don’t miss it if you’re passing. Irun and Hendaye on the other hand can be given a guilt-free wide berth.
Did anyone know? What year this incredible structure was made?
