Hondarribia is a charming coastal town in northern Spain, close to the French border. With its colorful houses, cobblestone streets, and stunning views over the Bay of Biscay, this small town seamlessly blends seaside beauty with a rich cultural heritage.

A Glimpse into the Past

The history of Hondarribia goes back to medieval times, and remnants of its fortified walls still encircle the old town. Over centuries, it played a key role as a military and trading port, which shaped its local traditions and architecture. Walking through its streets feels like stepping back in time, with the ancient gate and historic buildings telling stories of both conflict and peaceful cross-border exchanges.

When to Go

The best time to visit is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is pleasant for walking, outdoor dining, and enjoying the beach. July and September are especially lively, with local festivals and cultural events.

Is Hondarribia family-friendly?

Absolutely. The town offers calm beaches, traffic-free old streets, and plenty of open spaces—great for families with kids. Local restaurants are used to welcoming visitors of all ages.
