Three Crowns: Muganix - Irumugarrieta- Txurrumurru
Departure from Irun (Gipuzkoa)
A round trip to the first two summits of the Three Crowns, plus a third as a preamble.
For the less adventurous, the climb to Txurrumurru requires crossing a rocky bar that can be tricky.
Nevertheless, it's worth the effort to reach the narrow passage between two boulders that gives a view of Lake Endara.
Going to the last summit, Erroilbide, is much trickier and requires experience, which is why it is not mentioned in this itinerary.
The historic center of Fontarrabie
Departure from Hondarribia/Fontarrabie (Gipuzkoa)
The typical, picturesque village of Fontarrabie is one of the region's finest examples of Basque-Spanish culture and architecture. With its facades of brightly-colored wood contrasting with the surrounding white, its pedestrian streets, ancient fortifications and cathedral, it's a Basque journey summed up in one town. Numerous cafés and "pintxos" bars line the route for a gastronomic break.
