Hondarribia - Refugio Marina
Hondarribia's marina sits right at the mouth of the Bidasoa River, where Spain meets France across the water — the French town of Hendaye is literally a wave away. You're docking in one of the Basque Country's most charming medieval towns, with a fortified old quarter, pintxos bars, and a lively waterfront promenade all within easy walking distance. The setting inside the river estuary gives you natural shelter, with the green hills of the Pyrenees foothills rising behind the town as a backdrop.
