Back in 1916, the local historian Serapio Múgica Zufiria described this very path, perhaps picturing scenes of noisy market stalls, children chasing each other, and elders gossiping over the sound of boat ropes hitting wooden docks. Maybe even someone, desperate to impress a sweetheart, offering her the freshest sardine in town. As you stroll, it’s not hard to imagine the ghosts of these old fishermen still debating who caught the bigger fish.
And, of course, you can’t miss the proud neighbor of this pier: the Basque Maritime Museum. It stands as a reminder that this city’s heart beats right alongside the waves. So, take a moment to fill your lungs with sea air and let your mind wander. Just keep an eye on your sandwich-these seagulls are professionals!
