Itxassou is a pretty little village in the heart of the Basque Country. Crossed by the Nive, Itxassou has typical Basque architecture. The village partly owes its reputation to Itxassou cherries. Also worth discovering is the Rabbit Forest, a space dedicated to dozens of species of rabbit. You will find many restaurants there which offer local gastronomy.

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you appreciate the panoramic views but don't want to sacrifice so much to get to the Col de Gorospil, this is undoubtedly a nice place to take a break and appreciate those wonderful views. From here you can continue uphill to Col de Gorospil, although the path itself is quite demanding!
