in Spanish and Hondarribia in Basque, this charming, colourful place is Spain´s
most northern village on the Cantabrian coast. The Parador overlooks the Bay of
Txingudi separating Spain from France.
The parador still looks like a
fortress today with thick stone walls. Inside it is tastefully decorated achieving
authenticity and elegance. It has an excellent terrace with panoramic views. Some
of the rooms were once occupied by the likes of Charles V, Philip III and Mary
of Austria.

Hondarribia Parador is a splendid castle founded by Sancho Albarca, the King of
Navarra, in the 10th century. Its rooms are spacious and comfortable. Some have
balconies overlooking the coast - ask if you can have one of these rooms when
you are making your reservation.
The parador doesn't have a restaurant -
which is probably a good thing, because it gives you the chance to eat at some
of Spain's best restaurants. Both Fuenterrabia and San Sebastian have excellent
restaurants, renowned all over Spain for their quality and creative cuisine. The
staff at the parador will be happy to make a reservation for you. For more
