Mikel's house provided us with a superb stay in Hondarribia. Initially I was little concerned that the location might not be ideal, as it is close to the airport on the edge of the town. However, the airport only takes small planes and is remarkably quiet. Furthermore, the street is a dead-end so there is no through traffic. It is only a short (and lovely) walk into town or to the beaches. The house was spotlessly clean and well-equiped. Mikel, met us and gave us lots of great tips on where to go and what was worth seeing.
Hondarribia was a delightful town. Furthermore, it is in close proximity to so many other fantastic places (San Sebastian, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Pamplona, Biarritz and a host of beautiful seaside villages). This was our second week in the Basque country - we had spent the first week in the beautiful mountainous area of Elorrio. I cannot recommend this holiday enough - it was the perfect mix of beautiful mountainous hiking land, beaches, city-life, art, culture and food.
Thanks so much Mikel for providing ideal accommodation from which to explore it.
