Worth it?
A natural stop on a Basque coast drive, which is exactly how creators use it: one puts it on a road trip through the Basque Country, another on a list of pretty towns in northern Spain. It suits travelers who want a long seafood lunch, a glass of local Txakolí and a short wander through medieval streets. Fashion fans have a reason to linger, since the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum is here.
