Once there, you'll walk through the medieval walled neighbourhood and fishing quarter, stopping at key viewpoints and learning about the town's character and history.

Good to know
This suits anyone curious about Basque food culture and medieval Spanish towns, particularly those who want demystifying on pintxos rather than solo trial-and-error. It's genuinely accessible: all surfaces and areas are wheelchair-friendly, and specialised infant seats are available if needed. Note that full wheelchair accessibility requires advance notification and may incur extra charges—contact the operator. Walking pace is easy (suitable for all fitness levels), but ask ahead if you have specific dietary needs so they can plan your pintxos stops. Gratuities are not included. The 6-hour duration is a full commitment; peak times may mean busier pintxos bars.
