Great place for all the family especially on a Friday. Market day buzzing. Paddle boards and canoes to hire and electric boars. Good cafes and restaurants next to the river plus free parking down the side of the river where the canoe hire base is. Brocantes and cave grotto shops add to the fun.

Beautiful and unique abbey set into caves in an interesting little town. When we visited, there were art exhibitions on, with some lovely original art on display.

A beautiful place in the Dordogne and certainly worth in visit. Great fun watching the canoes going over the two waterfalls. The main building is the large Abbey built at the base of a huge Cliff. The rest of the village is really charming and well worth walking around.

One of the most beautiful towns we have seen, the Abbey is stunning hosting the oldest belfry in France from the 12th century

We wandered around in the cave and totally enjoyed all the history and gardens. Then we ate at one of the sweet little cafes on the street of the Abbey. After that we hit the shops in the little village across the bridge and souvenir shopped my little heart out. Wonderful day!

Stunning building both inside and out, beautiful wooden carved structures and of course a chance to light a candle for quiet reflection and to remember those who've we lost. Worth a visit.

Beautiful building which is the focal point for much of the city. They did have English information pamphlets but they were quite short. If you want to know more I would recommend using Google Lens to translate the French signs as they are much more informative. One last thing to mention is that the wooden sculpture can be illuminated by putting in some money at the side. This took us 20 minutes to realise.

It's a beautiful historical cathedral! It's worth spending some time here exploring the whole place. We love the cathedral gift shop, especially the lady there is really 😍 💕 lovely and amazing 👏 in her customer service and gift 🎁 wrapping ❤️ (*payment by cash only) highly recommended 😀 for visiting

A cathédrale. Beautiful, but nothing special
David F — Google review
Beautifully and interesting architectural for this cathedral. I love the structure and the look of the cathedral outside more than inside. Amazingly calculated designed. These buildings are located in the centre of Périgueux and Saint Front Cathedral has been classed as a French Historical Monument (monument historique) since 1840. The sight is impressive upon arriving into town. Definitely worth a visit when you are in Périgueux.

Château de Monbazillac

Mentioned on 
+33 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Château de Monbazillac is a 16th-century Renaissance chateau located in Bergerac, France. The castle features period furniture and a wine cellar where visitors can enjoy wine tastings and purchase wines. The chateau blends medieval fortifications with Renaissance characteristics and offers tours of its renovated interior and landscaped gardens.
My partner and I did the tour with included 3-wine tasting and had a lovely time. The exhibition is incredibly interesting and informative, and the staff providing the tastings are absolutely lovely and incredibly knowledgeable, not to mention the delicious wine on offer, grown on site and in the area. At the time of writing, there’s a tasting done in English each day at 3:30, and it’s well worth the €18 package. We went in April, so we were the only people there, which made for a very personal experience. Super, would definitely go again.
Joseph R — Google review
Fantastic place to visit. Not only is there great wine, but there is a restaurant that has great food too!! The chateau is great to look round, with lots of history of the building. And a very interesting section when you first go in, that explains the whole wine making process. All the signage is in both French and English, so still able to get the full experience without being fluent in French. Amazing views from the chateau grounds.

Lovely Chateau with an interesting historical and arts exhibitions. Fabulous views of the countryside from its elevated position. Nice little cafe / restaurant. It has a very good wine museum and tastings.
David T — Google review
A beautiful Château set among vines on a hill to the south of Bergerac. It has an interesting history of being saved by 50 vintners of the area in the 1960s. A little further to the south is the pretty village of Monbazillac. A must visit if you are in the area.
Allan B — Google review
This is a total experience not to be missed. So much to learn. A combination of history and wine including the specifics of Monbazillac wine. I highly recommend doing the full three wine tasting experience as you get so much more learning and understanding from it. The tasting is delicious too. 🤤
Christianne B — Google review
We recently visited Monbazillac Château for a tour and wine tasting (€43). The lady at the reception was very kind and welcoming, and the tour with the tasting itself was enjoyable. However, our experience at the restaurant beforehand left us quite disappointed. Before the tasting started, we wanted to sit down with our children and simply have a drink at the restaurant. When I asked if we could sit, a man working there responded very oddly, with a confusing “yes, no, yes”, and then asked in broken English if I had a booking. I explained that I had just booked the tour and tasting, and only wanted to order some drinks before it began. He refused and told me I had to go back to the shop at the entrance to book this, which made no sense. After walking back, the lady in the shop was very friendly but also surprised by the situation. She apologized repeatedly, though she could not help further and sent me back to the reception. The receptionist was also shocked by the story, confirming that of course we should have been able to sit down and order drinks. She immediately called the restaurant, and only then were we finally allowed to sit and order. Back at the restaurant, I expressed my dissatisfaction to the man, pointing out that he had sent me back and forth for nothing. Instead of acknowledging this, he just laughed it off strangely and said very little, leaving a female staff member (who was friendly) to take our order. The whole incident gave me the impression that he either had a very bad day or simply does not understand what hospitality means. It was not busy at all, yet he acted as if he had no control over the situation. My advice to the management: please have a serious conversation with this staff member and consider proper hospitality training. Otherwise, more guests will have the same negative experience. Overall, the wine tasting was fun, but the château itself was nothing particularly special, and this incident left a bitter aftertaste to what should have been a smooth and welcoming visit.
Kono — Google review
Had lunch at the cafe that is part of the Chateau - Pavillon Brizay - it was really excellent. We had both duck dishes and they were cooked to perfection and served with great sauces. The wine museum is well put together and views from Chateau fantastic. The Chateau itself is limited but does have an extensive history of the area. But honestly time your tour to include lunch !!

Superb castle overlooking the Dropt Valley, in the heart of Lot-et-Garonne, which has spanned the history of France. An atypical monument, it blends the Middle Ages, the 17th century, and the Revolution. Since its purchase by the Duras town hall in 1969, the château has undergone restoration work which might spoil your visit ... One can explore the history and architecture of this listed Historic Monument through the 30 restored rooms. The Duke and Duchess's apartments were finally refurnished thanks to a partnership with the Mobilier National, allow you to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the 17th century.

My experience here was not one of the best. In the complex I had a nice day of fun and relax, but the structure needs to be revisited. First of all, we bought a ticket with access to the two areas but once inside nobody was checking and anyone could have access to both areas, Many points need to be cleaned because there is mold, And lastly, we didn't even have the time to take a last shower since the workers at 6:30 precise were just pushing us out while we were changing.

What a huge disappointment. I lost my bathing suit and expected a great boutique. They had one size and blamed it on a late delivery of an order, having driven a long way, cat and dog in a camping car I negotiated 7.50e for just a shower. They wouldn’t allow me to even dry my hair downstairs. Sharp screws sticking out in the disabled shower, cubicles and sink area filthy, it was worse than some dirty old council pool. Excuses for a busy day when I asked if there’s no cleaner. Being a retired swim teacher I’ve worked in some nasty establishments, this was an absolute disappointment, the pool I can’t talk about but clearly over priced needs à refurb, à clean and a safety check

Very expensive for what's offered. Certain facilities were out of order. Competitive prices in comparison to Euro Disney, except for the awesome attraction rides.

Loved the place, clean, friendly staff, the water is warm and it is safe for the little ones. The only negative thing I found was that there was not enough food available, the restaurant was all reserved and the sandwich place only had a few sandwiches left but nothing small for children except sweets. I highly recommend and would go again.

Cité du Vin

Mentioned on 
+145 other lists 
Museum
Cultural center
Cité du Vin is a cutting-edge wine museum housed in a striking curved aluminum and glass structure in Bordeaux. It offers interactive displays, guided tours, and tastings to educate visitors about the history and production of wine globally. The museum's modern design reflects the swirling motion of both the adjacent Garonne River and wine in a glass. With themed routes and multimedia exhibits, it explores wine's impact on history, geography, culture, and civilization.
Extremely well done - highly informative and interactive, incorporating all of the senses! You can learn as little or as much as you'd like, but one can easily spend a few hours here. The tasting (with 13 different wines from which to choose) on the top floor with beautiful views was icing on the cake on a beautiful summer's day. There is non-alcoholic options as well! Very well air-conditioned, so going in the heat of the afternoon during the heat dome was a huge relief as well! This is a must-visit while in Bordeaux, even if you don't like wine.

Hard to fault this place. I visited around 6 years ago and it’s only got better. A comprehensive tale of world wine history. A good tasting on the 8th floor featuring international wines. I tried a Swiss wine that was new to me. There are lockers to hold bags as you wander. Excellent easy to use audio guide. A good Bodega. Prices are not crazy they cater for all tastes.

La Cité du Vin is an absolute must-visit in Bordeaux — more than a museum, it’s a full sensory journey into the world of wine. The interactive exhibits are beautifully designed, combining history, culture, and tasting experiences in a modern, engaging way. You can easily spend hours exploring and still discover something new. The architecture itself is stunning, with its flowing, glassy curves reflecting the Garonne. Don’t miss the panoramic tasting room at the top — the view is spectacular. A brilliant tribute to wine culture, innovation, and pleasure.

LOVED this amazing museum!! It had the most immersive experience including aroma generator technology that I did not know existed. You can smell the aromas of a myriad of scents that are produced from wines, cognac, liquors, and champagne. And the production, service, and industry is covered at great detail. Fun for everyone of all ages. And the ticket provides for two samples on the 8th floor with spectacular views! The restaurant food is excellent, with both vegetarian and meat, seafood offerings. The desserts are amazing! Love the model and the story behind this innovative museum created from a competition around 2010.
Shafi K — Google review
Cité du Vin wine museum offers a fascinating journey through the history and culture of winemaking. The exhibits are well-curated, blending tradition with interactive displays. It’s the perfect place for wine enthusiast. After the exhibits, you can go to the 8th floor to enjoy a panoramic view of the Garonne river in Bordeaux while tasting your favourite wine.

It's a highly informative and beautifully interactive museum. Make sure to try the wine tasting on the top floor—the view is beautiful, but the wines are average. If you have two days or more in Bordeaux, this place is definitely a must-visit.

Whether you are a wine drinker or not. This is by far one of the most interactive museums you could go to. Well priced and super modern. It has Something for everyone.

Miroir d'eau

Located in Bordeaux, the Miroir d'eau is a large shallow reflecting pool built in 2006 near Place de la Bourse. Covering an area of 3450 square meters, it is one of the world's largest reflecting pools and offers stunning views of the surrounding architecture. The water's surface acts as a mirror, creating beautiful visual effects and making it a popular spot for photography.
A brilliant idea in combining a modern structure with the old buildings on the other side of the square. When there is no wind, the buildings are reflected in the water. It is very beautiful, as are the blooming gardens along the embankment. A wonderful space for walking!
Olga I — Google review
Fascinating creation right next to the river. You can see a clear reflection of people and buildings, if it is not too windy. They have two different exhibitions, a mist spray followed by about 2cm deep of water coming up from the bottom.
Michael R — Google review
The Miroir d'eau is just a playground with sprinkles. It is right next to the promenade at the river and across the street from the Place de la Bourse, not in front it, as appearing in the touristic brochures. The thin layer of water creates a reflective surface for the sky or Place de la Bourse buildings across the street. Popular water playground with children and to sit around to cool down in the warmer months or as a gorgeous, instagramable setting for pictures during the day or at night.

The Water Mirror in Bordeaux is deceptively simple yet magical. Its charm lies in the cyclical transformation it undergoes, the water functions as a perfect mirror, then a gentle fog is released across the surface creating a dream-like ambiance.

When visiting Bordeaux, one of the must-see spots is the Place de la Bourse. This iconic 18th-century city square is surrounded by elegant architecture and features a grand fountain at its center. The Palais de la Bourse, with its Neoclassical-style facade adorned with columns and sculptures, is a notable building to explore.
Kind an artificial pool with bunch of kids running around. Unusual and nice place - at least to see and experience this. When it gets quieter you can make amazing photos with buildings around and this part of flat water pool. Results are amazing
Kamil N — Google review
The 'water mirror' opposite of the bourse buildings is awesome! Such an excellent idea! This artist may get followers and copy cats all over the globe. The water is refreshing, makes the public happy and relaxed, allows kids to enjoy a city visit and provides poor citizens with a place where they can mingle with everyone else in a relaxed way. It also gives enough water for great flowers and the gardens/park pieces next to the water mirror. And, when quiet, the reflection doubles the grandeur of the bourse buildings. Best place of Bordeaux in my opinion.
Christy D — Google review
I visited Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux at night and it was a wonderful experience. The whole area looked magical with the lights reflecting on the beautiful old buildings and the famous water mirror. The fountain and lighting together created a peaceful and charming atmosphere. I spent a few hours just walking around, watching the reflections, and enjoying the calm breeze from the river. The place was lively yet serene — people relaxing, children playing, and tourists taking photos. It’s one of those spots where you can simply sit and take in the beauty of the city. If you are in Bordeaux, an evening visit to Place de la Bourse is a must. It truly captures the heart and elegance of the city.

A good place to see, how people lived in ancient rural times. I visited it on weekday in September. Unfortunately almost all attration where no presentations. Which was a bit sad. Maybe ask before, when you want to see more lifelike thing. The houses are ooen and luckly the animals where there😏. Also, when you to eat there, come in the morning. In September entrance is closed from 12-13:40 o'clock. So in Afternoon Restaurant is already closed! It is a quiete big area. I spend 4 hours. There is also free guided tour, but in french. Luckly all decriptions are in different languages. This helps a lot. The small train driver -4km- is nice in old shaking waggons. But speed is slow, no worries🚂. The fee was 15€, which is fair for the size of the Ecomuseum.

Form birds to African elephants, from tigers to rino's. And of course apes. The enclosures where spacious set up. And the walking route was clearly pointed out so you won't miss any of the animals.

We combined a trip to Bordeaux with this so ended here at the beginning of the evening (at 18:00). We parked not at the formal entrance, but a bit down the road where we had to walk between the bushes and made a steep climb onto the dune. Challenging! But the view is amazing and coming there in the evening gives very nice pictures with the sunset (and it's not so crowded). We swam for a short while and went back before it got dark. The way down is much faster ;-)
Maikel J — Google review
Rising over 100 m above the Bassin d’Arcachon, Europe’s tallest sand dune and natural colossus draws nearly two million visitors each year. Families climb its soft flank for sweeping views across forest and ocean, while removable staircases and marked paths channel footfall to reduce erosion. At peak times, up to 17,000 people ascend daily, and archaeologists descend to preserve prehistoric revelations. Recognised as a Grand Site National since 1978, it is both geological wonder and leisure magnet, shaped by four millennia of wind and time.

An unforgettable natural wonder — the Dune du Pilat near Arcachon is the largest sand dune in Europe and absolutely stunning. It’s easy to access, yet feels like stepping into another world. If you want to see something truly extraordinary just beyond your doorstep, this is the place to go!

Great views of the surrounding countryside. Be ready for a good climb if you want to reach the top though as there are plenty of steps to navigate, make sure you have some comfy footwear. The parking is €7, but that also covers the cost of the visit for as long as you want, so it was very good value for money. The parking areas are also very shaded so your car won’t be an oven when you return from your travels. It was busy when we visited, but as the fine is so large it didn’t feel overcrowded.

Do I still need to introduce the majestic Dune of Pilat, the highest dune in Europe, which continues to amaze me years after years with its immensity and breathtaking landscapes ? Dominating the entrance to the Arcachon Bay, it stretches over 500 meters wide, reaches nearly 102 meters high and offers a spectacular panorama. From its summit, the view takes in the Atlantic Ocean, the Landes forest, the Cap-Ferret peninsula, the Banc d'Arguin and the bay. This masterpiece of nature, fragile and in perpetual movement, moves each year from one to five meters towards the forest, grain by grain, testifying to thousands of years of history and the incredible dynamics of the elements. Reaching this exceptional site is now facilitated by modern and well-designed facilities. A new cycle path leads to the site's entrance, and a pedestrian axis designed as a promenade crosses the reception area, inviting you to stroll before undertaking the climb. It can also be reached by bus or even by boat, making the Dune a destination accessible to all. Since summer 2023, the completely renovated reception area offers cultural and restaurant shops open year-round, and a seasonal staircase, installed from April to October, allows you to gently climb the dune from the back while preserving this natural site. Once at the top, the magic happens. At low tide, the sandbanks reveal heavenly hues, particularly the Banc d'Arguin National Nature Reserve, which stretches below. In summer, the Dune of Pilat attracts many visitors ; to fully enjoy the tranquility of the place, it is best to come early in the morning or at the end of the day. The golden hours of sunrise and sunset offer unique moments where the light enhances every detail of the landscape ! In summer, sunset walks are particularly popular for experiencing a moment outside of time. Hikes, storytelling walks, and educational workshops also enrich the visitor experience. Listed nationally and included in the Réseau des Grands Sites de France (Great Sites of France), the Dune of Pilat is exemplarily managed by the Syndicat Mixte de la Grande Dune du Pilat, in partnership with the Conservatoire du Littoral (Coastal Protection Agency). These preservation and development efforts ensure a balance between welcoming the public and protecting the natural environment. The revenue from parking is entirely reinvested in the management of the site : waste collection, naturalist monitoring and free environmental education tools ... This great lady of sand, witness to history and natural forces, continues to fascinate with its movement, its scale and the diversity of the landscapes it dominates. A visit to the Dune of Pilat is the assurance of an unforgettable encounter with an exceptional site, constantly evolving, in the heart of the Arcachon basin ...

And the walk is also very worth it.

There are a couple of information signs. (Original) Muy bonito sitio, con preciosas vistas panorámicas sobre un bonito pueblo.

Biarritz Aquarium

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
The Biarritz Aquarium, also known as the Musee de la Mer, is housed in a stunning art deco building and offers an exciting day out for visitors. Inside, there are 20 aquariums showcasing diverse marine life from the Bay of Biscay and around the world. The aquarium features sharks, rays, coral-reef fish, and a Caribbean lagoon. Visitors can witness seal feeding times at the underwater viewing platform and observe sharks up close in a dedicated tank.
Visiting the Sea World in Biarritz was an amazing experience! Everything is beautifully arranged and full of fascinating marine life the place truly comes alive. The aquariums are wonderfully designed, making you feel as if you are diving right into the depths of the ocean. I highly recommend visiting in the evening as well, because the sunsets here are absolutely magical and add to the overall atmosphere of the place. A wonderful experience that is definitely worth it!

Fantastic aquarium,bought tickets online to safe the queue.Loved seals being fed ,one wee naughty one 😆. Well worth the money ,really enjoyed it. Perhaps a buggy park somewhere to save congestion when busy might help .
Susan — Google review
Fantastic aquarium- however we didn’t realise there was no parking at the actual a aquarium (because of where it is located) so don’t just put it into google maps without planning a car park first. The a aquarium itself was really well laid out and in two separate buildings. Some amazing fish and the jelly fish were spectacular. And my kids loved seeing the turtles and hammer head sharks. Also take time to appreciate the amazing art work and how it was created. Would throughly recommend.
Ryan C — Google review
Great museum with lots of fun jellyfish, octopus, seals, sharks and turtles as well as fun fish. Well curated, but a bit expensive at 46 eur for two adults and a kid.
Joachim V — Google review
It was a good aquarium with some very pretty jellyfish and seals. The other attractions were quite interesting too. Missing 1 star because they let too many people in at a time, we were crammed in like sardines.
Bradley A — Google review
The aquarium offers a decent variety of marine life, with the large shark tank being a highlight, providing an impressive view. I highly recommend a visit. However, the seal tank had noticeable algae growth, giving us a cloudy view. The seals are fed twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening, so I recommend timing your visit for one of the feedings to enhance your experience.
Clinton T — Google review
My kid is almost two and he love it! Is not huge is big enough to spend 2 hours on it and is walkable for kids. They have a lot of sharks and spaces to sit and enjoy the fishes. A snack space, seals, turtles and a beautiful view. It was not super full so you can enjoy it with the stroller with not a problem.
Vero C — Google review
The only downside is that they do the seal feeding fully in French. I didn’t understand a single word. But my experience with the place was very positive. Really enjoyed the effort they put into this park. And the ticket price is worth it for sure; even it’s just to see the shark tanks, or hang out with Izar and Charlie.

A romantic place - I went for sunrise and sunset. Loved it. Joggers seem to come to this place in the early morning too. Really windy - so bring something warm.

Nice outcrop from the headland over a cool bridge. Was great the day we visited as it was after a storm so the seas were quite wild and waves crashing along the shore which made it more special. Not much to do there other than stroll out to it and admire the views. As your in Biarritz check it out and walk on from there through the streets to the port and palace beach

A very nice vantage point to see the miramar beach and plage de la Côte des Basque. Very nice views during sunset. Adventurous swimmer and divers often jump up from here to the sea.

Grottes de Sare

Mentioned on

Historical landmark

Nestled in the Sare Valley, Grottes de Sare is a remarkable limestone massif featuring expansive caves and an intriguing museum dedicated to bats. Visitors can explore the Musee Ethnographique to delve into the rich cultural heritage and ancient history of the Basque region before embarking on a guided tour that ventures 1 km underground for a captivating son-et-lumiere show.
Lovely experience to learn about the historical and archaeological significance of the cave. The guide explained everything well and the multimedia elements added a special touch. If you are lucky, you might see some bats flying around! Remember to take something warm to put on in the cave as the temperature is around 14 degrees throughout the year. Note that you cannot take photos inside the cave.
Lara F — Google review
We got a great private tour in English at the end of the afternoon. Super interesting history and insight into the Basque country and some of its extraordinary culture and language. The caves are nice, but what was really exciting was the bats nest on the ceiling. Very active bats and a bunch of young ones hanging there and flapping their wings in anticipation of food. Never saw so many bats, wild, in one place. Great! There are multiple stories told and histories found. The museum is small and features a bit of all these stories. The souvenir shop is very nice and sells gems, they own a huge amethyst! Buy tickets in advance. Closed on Wednesdays. Absolutely worthwhile. There is a lot of parking place, but not too many for campervans. Public toilet for free. I am so happy that the guide, movie and all surroundings support the importance of Natura 2000! Keep this site clean and natural, as much as possible.

Beach of La Concha

Beach
Outdoor Activities
The Beach of La Concha is a bustling, sandy, shell-shaped beach located on the Bay of La Concha in San Sebastian. It is considered one of the most beautiful urban beaches in Europe and among the best in the Basque Country. The elegant modernist promenade stretches for over a kilometer and ends at the Palacio de Mirar, featuring white railings and numerous large lampposts.
Fantastic Beach in Town Centre This is a great beach, it is very wide and shallow at the beginning but you get depth quite fast and you can swim very far out. The beach itself is really nice and has all the necessary amenities. What I also like a lot is that you can go to restaurants, shops etc very easily. Last but not least the view is also amazing!
Paul V — Google review
I loved the size of the beach. Despite the crowds, it never felt overcrowded. If you enjoy proper swimming, you can swim long distances across the width of the beach. There are also several good restaurants within walking distance. Plus, there’s convenient access to public restrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

Carl C — Google review
As far as I can tell it is no less than the most beautiful city beach or bay in Europe. Of course you have to be lucky with the weather, as on hot days it feels like the whole city is digging through the sand. The huge dimensions only become clear on a walk or a drive up one of the two hills (Monte Igueldo or Urgull). It is a little unusual that there is so little catering right on the promenade.

Monte Igueldo, situated on the western end of La Concha Bay in San Sebastián, is a popular destination for travelers seeking breathtaking views and entertainment. Visitors can take a charming 40-minute stroll along the seafront promenade before boarding the vintage funicular railway that ascends to the modest 181m summit. At the top, an old-fashioned amusement park awaits, featuring attractions like a rollercoaster with stunning cliffside views and various family-friendly rides.
The boat ride is very charming and great views of the city once you get the funicular up. A lovely break from the hustle and bustle of the city
Paul D — Google review
Super nice view, that’s all as this s mostly a lil park for kids to run around. The funicular isn’t worth the >1 hour wait but I insisted as I thought I d be able to enjoy the ride, I was wrong. Overall attractions aren’t attractive, and the only hotel restaurant to avoid. There is though a lil bar on the side selling refreshments at half of the prices and queue, if needed rather go there. I mean, it’s a must go but you may be disappointed

Easy level trekking (more like walking), easier if you have car 😁. Loved the views. There is small entrance fee and also the other activities for which you have pay small amount but for one time experience I think it’s okay. It’s best place for kids, the park is full of games and stuff for kids.

Pirashan R — Google review
A 14 - 16 kilometer hike, up over cliffs and down to the water several times. A bit challenging for those who don't hike frequently, but well worth the effort. There are spectacular views of Flysch formations from the cliffs and beaches. As the trail moves inland it passes through lush farmland and forests in the Basque countryside. The hike can take from 4.5 to 6 hours to complete. The most scenic parts of the hike are on the Deba side of the trail, as the cliffs towards Zumaia are unstable so the trail shifts inland over the road.

We followed Nath F’s recommendation to start in Deba and walk back to Zumaia. Would highly recommend it. Finding the start of the walk was a bit difficult but if you make your way to St. Roke, you will come across the GR121 red/white hiking signposts. We followed those till the end - we stopped at the campsite which for us was about half way. It took us 6 hrs with the breaks and we are intermediate hikers! Also, have a look at this amazing side that talks about all the important landmarks along the way: deba.eus/en/tourism/walks/the-flysch-route/

Santa Maria Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+47 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of a medieval landscape, the Santa Maria Cathedral stands as a stunning testament to Gothic architecture. Often referred to as the Old Cathedral, its construction began in 1202 after a devastating fire claimed the previous church. This monumental structure features an intricately sculpted facade and soaring vaulted interiors that transport visitors back in time.
The only language available for the guided tour when I went was Spanish, but they provided audioguides in English (and French and German, if I remember correctly). The tour guide was very friendly and always made sure to give some explanation in English for me. He also answered any questions I had. The church itself is really interesting, and I recommend going up the tower especially around sundown. Better to reserve a slot for the tour in advance; mine was full on a Tuesday.
Cait C — Google review
Truely terrific place. A combination of a chruch and city walls on an uneven ground. This lead to constructual problems that have been bugged the building for ages. And then in the sixthees a desasterous decision to remove internal buttresses. in english a very good guide through the building, from underground to the tower with views over the country side. You have to make a reservation through Internet or in person. In the end they show the true colours of the building, from now to the 16th century Closed between 1400 and 16.30m Worth the trip
Jan L — Google review
We had a tour in Spanish, but with audioguide in English. We never had such a great, complete experience from enormous foundations to the roof, and everything in between. The restoration is well done. Tour guide was friendly and helpful. The Cathedral is not so over-decorated as many others in Spain, but very interesting non the less. Highly recommend tour!
Louis S — Google review
The building was closed for renovation when we visited. Beautiful architecture in a very friendly town.
Mary C — Google review
As the Cathedral is still in a period of extended restoration you have to visit with a guided tour, so the entrance fee will set you back around ten euros, unless you qualify for a concession. However the tour is detailed and exhaustive, including a trip down through its crumbling foundation pillars, then into its spectacular romanesque interior before going up to the Tower. The journey there, along a narrow ledge that overlooks the cathedral interior, before acsending up a spiral staircase, is almost as exciting as the views it offers of the surrounding city.
Stuart M — Google review
It is certainly not the prettiest or the mos architecturally inspiring cathedral in Spain. However, it has an interesting story of trying to withstand the original construction errors. Fortunately, the cathedral has been saved from an imminent collapse after the last restoration. The guided visit is super interesting, as it takes you to places that are usually not accessible to the public, including the foundations.
Daniel F — Google review
A must visit in Vitoria-Gasteiz! Guided tours are very good...best option is: Cathedrale Tour + Tower! View from there above the city is awesome! They have guided tours in English...but also audioguides in different languages! This is a sure must visit if you are in town. Check out the tours on their official site! Never had a guided tour like this...for that price...anyway in this world! The Tour ends with projection show of how the coloring of the church was ages ago...never saw something like this before...even in Rome or somewhere else! So much love and affection to history combined with modern technology!
Don E — Google review
The work done of restoration of this Cathedral is amazing. It seems that construction was not very well done, and during the time the attempts to repair it were not very successfully also. From a few year now, was done a huge work to understand was was wrong and what exactly had to be done to save the building.
