This little deserves all your attention. I wish there was a 6th star for the special places…read more Poteak is located in the Tribord headquarters. They have a lot of delicious dishes that are all in pots. It could be hot (axoa, pasta, fish, etc.) that you need to put in the microwave or cold (a lot of different great salads and sandwich). If you come in the morning you can even order your own salad or sandwich by choosing between 15 or 20 different ingredients and it will be ready by the time you decide. Very clever! The desserts are to die for, especially pêche melba and their basque cake. People told me that their chocolate basque cake is just perfection, I can't confirm, I don't like chocolate ^^ They also have couple of tables right by the sea and above the building where you can enjoy the sun. As George could tell: What Else?

Really great food, great service and overall a lovely place to have lunch. Beautiful dining area…read morewith outside seating.

Yum! It's in the Michelin guide so expect high quality without the high price. Like most European…read morerestaurants you could eat your meal here and take a day. Their price fix menu is crazy good deal. If you're dining here for lunch arrive early to get the best spot outside. The fish is excellent here...the beef was a little over cooked.

Gayle and I loved our recent experience at the Parador de Hondarriba. We got upgraded to a Junior…read moreSuite, with loads of room and a stunning view of the Spanish and French waterfront. There's also the very nice Plaza Armas at the entrance, and lots of walking opportunities within the Old Town and beyond. The only challenge was finding the Parador parking lot before we checked in. But as a helpful citizen advised from our lost position - Arriba - Abajo - Derecha! Parador Hondarribia is a 10th century castle built by the King of Navarre in the early days of the Christian re-conquest. The castle was remodeled in the 16th century by Emperor Charles the Fifth. Napoleon stayed here for some time during the wars between Spain and France and many other notable figures in the history of Spain and Europe have stayed here as well. Beneath the castle, there are apparently various tunnels and passageways. One legend is that "many have entered, never to be seen again." A Spanish version of the Hotel California? And to support that point, the walls apparently creak at night, although Gayle and didn't hear anything or experience any haunted sensations. The Parador de Hondarribia Parador is every bit the castle people imagine and Gayle certainly felt like a princess during our stay. We also admired the monolithic stone walls (still pockmarked by cannon-fire from old wars), and interior decorations of medieval armor, weaponry and tapestries. The Parador also contains many charming nooks and common areas for quiet reflection or soft conversation. That included the outdoor room used for breakfast and a river-view deck for guests only. It was a great Parador stay and one of our favorites. There's only a basic café here, but there's great dining right out the door. Staff were helpful and professional and the other clientele were an interesting bunch. Did we already say that our room was fantastic?

This was a super fun experience for us. It was our first stay in a Parador and I'm glad our friends…read morerecommended it. The rooms were ok, very noisy with paper thin walls but the view was so cool that you didn't care. The staff was very nice and we really enjoyed having drinks in the salon and envisioning what this must of been like when it was first built. I would highly recommend this if visiting the area.
