Enjoy the charm of the bay of Pasaia aboard the boat that connects both shores, the motorboat.
The motor boat that joins 2 of the most charming districts of Pasaia, San Pedro and San Juan, is considered by many as one of the most charismatic transports of the town, and not for less, we must remember that the past, present and future of Pasaia have strong ties with fishing and the sea, a history that is reinforced with one of the most important cultural projects of all Euskal Herria, Albaola. This classic transport of Pasaia, better known as the motorboat, is managed by the company Itxaszerbi, a company that in addition to managing and maintaining the regular line that connects Pasai Donibane (San Juan in Basque) and Pasai San Pedro also makes boat trips around the bay of the municipality.
The motorboat crossing from Pasai Donibane to Pasai San Pedro is part of the Camino de Santiago de la Costa. Every year thousands of pilgrims cross the bay by boat to continue their route through the Ulía mountain to Donostia-San Sebastián.
Pasaia is one of the most charming coastal towns of the Basque Country, a mandatory stop on the way in every trip to Gipuzkoa. If you want to know what to see and do in Pasaia do not miss our article on the 7 plans to know its region, Oarsoaldea.
