With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Pamplona, 25 miles away, has to offer. Plaza del Castillo, Plaza de Toros de Pamplona and Pamplona Cathedral alone make the drive out worth it. Locals will also probably point you toward Irun, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Jaizkibel. (But we’d also highly recommend Hondarribia Beach and Calle San Pedro.)
