Jaizkibel is mountain range of the
Basque Country located east of
Pasaia, north of
Lezo and west of
Hondarribia, in
Spain, with 547 m at the highest point (peak Alleru). The range stretches south-west to north-east, where it plunges into the sea at the
Cape Higuer (spelled Higher too). To the north-west, the mountain dips its slopes in the sea with beautiful cliffs all along, overlooking on the east the marshes of Txingudi, the river
Bidasoa and its mouth (tracing the state borderline between
France and
Spain) as well as the towns of
Irun,
Hendaia and
Hondarribia on the river banks. The nearest relevant mountains are
La Rhune,
Aiako Harria and
Ulia closing the view east to west from the south. Some people consider
Jaizkibel to be the first westernmost mountain of the Pyrenees.
