Pasaia

Pasaia has served as a port on the Basque coast since medieval times. Its sheltered natural harbour, the Bay of Pasaia, cuts inland from the Cantabrian Sea, with the historic quarters of Pasai Donibane and San Pedro facing each other across a narrow channel. Small boats maintain the crossing between the two shores, while the port remains central to the municipality’s working identity. Writer Victor Hugo stayed in Pasai Donibane in 1843, and a house museum recalls his visit. Stone lanes, waterside façades and fishing-port traditions set this compact town apart from nearby San Sebastián.
