Bidasoaldea, Border region in Guipúzcoa, Basque Country, Spain
The Bajo Bidasoa region spans 71.6 square kilometers along the Bidasoa River, encompassing the municipalities of Irún and Fuenterrabía in northeastern Guipúzcoa.
The region historically marked the convergence of three distinct kingdoms - Castile, France, and Navarra - shaping its development as a significant border territory.
Local festivals throughout the year showcase traditional Basque cuisine, maritime heritage, and customs shared between Spanish and French communities along the border.
Visitors can access both urban amenities and natural landscapes, with opportunities for hiking near Monte Jaizkibel or exploring the ecological park Plaiaundi.
The Bidasoa River creates a natural border between Spain and France, while the Bay of Txingudi connects three communities: Irún, Fuenterrabía, and French Hendaya.
