NOTE: A JEWEL TO RECOMMEND (All the clients visiting Albaola end up amazed with the gem we have. They are building BY HAND a replica of a Galleon of the XVI. Century, but what it is more important, is that the original Galleon is sunk in Newfoundland and is the only UNESCO sponsored monument under the water)

Picturesque enclave on the Gipuzkoan coast that preserves the architecture and seafaring atmosphere of yesteryear. In Basque and officially called Pasai Donibane.

“A small resplendent Eden, where I arrived by chance and without knowing where I was”, the author of Les Misérables wrote about Pasajes de San Juan.
