Hondarribia Port of Entry
| |
| |
The town and marina of Hondarribia lie on the coast of NW Spain on the border with France, from which it is separated by the Rio Bidasoa. On the other side of the river is the French harbour and anchorage of Hendaye. As a border town, Hondarribia has suffered in several conflicts with the armies of France, the last of which resulted in the partial destruction of its town walls. However, it remains an attractive and colourful fishing port, with a historic old quarter and several fine buildings. At the N end of the town, close to the entrance to the river, is the large and sheltered marina of Puerto Deportivo de Hondarribia. Entry is possible in most conditions but could be challenging in very strong N winds.
