Bike through the beauty of the Basque

Enjoy an exhilarating ride to the natural sights of San Sebastián on the San Sebastián Road Bike Tour! In 3.5 hours, this guided bicycle tour takes you to the highs and lows of the area, from Jaizkibel Mountain to Zurriola Beach and Pasaia Bay via Hondarribia and Txingudi Bay. With the added flexibility of bike rental, this day tour is a dynamic journey of discovery through San Sebastián’s most spectacular scenery.

Your day tour begins at the breathtaking Zurriola Beach, the liveliest length of beach in San Sebastián, famous for its superior surf. Locals flock here for games of beach volleyball or to catch a wave in the tantalizing turquoise waters. You’ll pedal on to Pasaia Bay for more spectacular views of the azure ocean and rocky outcrops graced with bracken, glinting in the Spanish sunlight.

From the bay, your bike tour moves on to Jaizkibel Mountain, offering the best views of the Basque country from its sensational summit. Park up your bicycle and gaze out over an unforgettable vista, taking in Txingudi Bay, Hondarribia, Hendaye, and the glistening Cantabrian Sea. Ride down to Hondarribia, a charming coastal town at the mouth of the Bidasoa river with an exceptional old town, boasting such incredible architecture as the Gothic and Renaissance Castle of Emperor Carlos V and the Iglesia del Manzano church. Hondarribia Beach is a sandy haven of translucent waters and golden shoreline.

Your bicycle tour takes you on to Txingudi Bay on the Bidasoa river estuary by the French border. Explore stunning coastal marshes on the Spanish side of the estuary where locals enjoy superior bird-watching opportunities. A view of the beautiful beach rounds off your brilliant Basque adventure.

Tour difficulty can be adjusted to your physical condition.
