Cape Higuer is a prominent headland jutting into the Bay of Biscay near Hondarribia, offering visitors dramatic coastal views and a sense of the wild Atlantic. The area features a grassy promontory where you can walk along the cliffs, feel the sea breeze, and watch waves crash against the rocks. Its main landmark is the Cape Higuer Lighthouse, which has guided ships since the 19th century. The cape is a favorite spot for photographers and nature lovers, especially at sunset when the light paints the sea and sky. Distinctive for its rugged beauty and the lighthouse's iconic silhouette.
