The selection along with the price to quality ratio, make Hondarribia difficult to top.īesides having an impressive gastronomy scene, Hondarribia also boasts a well-preserved old town that is surrounded by a fortified wall, the only one to be found in Guipuzcoa province. And the truth is, there are a lot of amazing places. The competition in town is getting stiff, but the result is that only the very best survive. Instead there are just more and more restaurants and pintxo bars popping up. Hondarribia is becoming more and more touristic these days, but thankfully, you aren’t going to find many souvenir shops. And the quality of their new gastronomy is right up there with what one can expect to find in San Sebastian – the other Basque mecca for foodies. This is due to many young chefs who, after studying under the likes of Martín Berasategui and Pedro Subijana (see Michelin star restaurants), have taken their knowledge and set up shop in Hondarribia. In recent years, Hondarribia has seen a boom in its culinary scene. It’s a feast for the eyes and also for the stomach. Hondarribia (Fuenterrabía in Spanish) is a colorful fishing village that is both rich in architecture as well as in gastronomy. Hondarribia is definitely one of the most beautiful towns in the Basque Country and a real must-see! If you only choose to visit one village in the Basque Country, this is probably the one. ![]()
