MENDARO: Delicious handmade chocolate

Mendaro may be small, but it is nonetheless charming, with a beautiful scenery surrounding the town. Many hiking routes depart from the town centre towards the main peaks in the area: Arno, Kanpazar, Urnobieta, Gaintxipixa, Otarre, etc.

Mendaro is also home to a family-owned chocolate company, Chocolates de Mendaro-Saint Gerons, that has produced handmade chocolates following traditional recipes since 1850. Visit the workshop, and taste the delicacies made on site.
