We had a great time in our 5 days at Paul’s place. It’s ideally situated a few minutes walk from the beach and the numerous bars, restaurants and cafes of Leikeito. The town is charming and atmospheric and very much an authentically Basque place with a real sense of its tradition and heritage.
The flat has wonderful views over the sea and the Island (Garraitz). The stairs to the flat are a bit steep but if you’re reasonably fit and healthy it will be a good way to walk the pintchos off!
Paul and his family are charming and helpful. The early morning delivery of some pastries was particularly appreciated. As is generally acknowledged, the weather in Euskadi can be a bit unpredictable, but Leikeitio is a real gem come rain or shine and the flat makes an ideal base.
