Unforgettable discoveries from GCU camping in Hendaye

In the heart of a very touristic coast, the Domaine d'Abbadia remains a magnificent space of protected nature that you can discover, but only on foot and without your dog. Small or big, dogs can scare away the sheep but also the pheasants and other small birds (warblers, blackbirds, thrushes...) which nest in the bushes, close to the ground.

Leaving the shores of the ocean and after skirting the bay of Txingudy, this itinerary takes you through the first humanized reliefs of the Basque mountains. Leaving the intimacy of the forests, moors and pastures alternate, offering sumptuous views of the ocean which is still close by. After the Ibardin pass and its famous ventas, you will walk through the wild and fresh atmosphere of the Intzola ravine.

This sumptuous seaside trail is the first and one of the flattest stages of the GR® 10 long-distance hiking trail, with 2 lanes for everyone to enjoy in complete safety. Children will find a playground and a bi-cross area, and will have fun looking for the white and red GR® markers.
