Hondarribia (Fontarrabie): Guided Tour with a Native Basque Speaker (Euskaldun)

We’ll start at the city gate, where you’ll get a panoramic view of the Basque Country—mountains, water, and fields—Mother Earth. I’ll take you on a journey through Basque history, starting with prehistory, so you’ll understand the origins of the Basque language in the Stone Age.

Then we’ll enter the old town with its beautiful architecture and visit the Church of the Apple Trees.

A must-see is the Parador Castle of Emperor Charles V, which offers a marvelous view of the Atlantic Ocean.

We’ll head down to the Marina district along the river, where you’ll learn about the Basque cross—a blend of Christian and pagan elements from Mother Earth.

I’ll give you some recommendations for restaurants and bars.

Come have fun and learn something new!
