You need to continue past the Playa de Hondarribia, the main beach of Hondarribia, to reach the harbour at the N end of the sea-front. Follow the road which climbs steeply from the N end of the harbour switchbacking up to a junction. Turn right to reach the S side of the lighthouse, Faro de Cabo Higuer, and Camping Faro de Higuer (40m, N43°23.479 W001°47.546).

Camping Faro de Higuer has a bar-restaurant. Open all year. Tel 943 641 008 www.campingfarodehiguer.es

See Stage 1 for facilities in Hondarribia and Irún.

STAGE 1

Cabo de Higuer to Bera (Vera de Bidosoa)

Start Cabo de Higuer Distance 30km Total Ascent/Descent 800m Difficulty Easy. Waymarking does not begin until the S edge of Irún, after which it is very good. Time 8hr 30min High Points Collado de Erlaitz (448m), Collado de Tellería (415m)

Stage 1 is too long for a first day unless you are already ‘trail fit’. If you are camping it is sensible to take three days to get to Elizondo at the end of Stage 2. If you are staying in Irún you could walk the section from Cabo de Higuer to Irún on the evening of your arrival and then set out from Irún in the morning. Once clear of Irún, the route is typical of the Basque Country as you traverse steep rolling hills on good tracks through a mixture of woodland and pasture.
