Peñas de Aya is a striking mountain range near Hondarribia, characterized by its jagged limestone peaks that rise abruptly from the surrounding green hills. Hikers can explore well-marked trails that wind through beech forests and rocky outcrops, leading to summits with sweeping views of the Bay of Biscay and the French Pyrenees. The area is also home to diverse wildlife, including griffon vultures and wild boar. Distinctive for its geological formations and proximity to the coast, it offers a wild, untamed experience just a short drive from town.
