Earlier this year (2022) the coastal option between Ciboure and Hondarriabia (the Corniche d'Urrugne) was closed due to landslides. Does anyone know if its been re-opened yet?

Still official closed, and unlikely to be open soon as due to cliff instability. There is an alternative route marked from Socoa to near Château Abbadia on quiet roads up in hills. I did a version of it recently though went up riverside path in Socoa (stop at Lidl was called for) before joining the alternative and heading to Hendaye Plage. I will see if I can find link for official alternative and post later

Hello,
The coastal path (which is not the Way of Saint James) is closed to pedestrians from Socoa because it is too dangerous.
The Way of Saint James does not follow the coast : in Ciboure you have to take the street on the left of the church and follow the Jacobean markings until the Saint James bridge in Hendaye
I am a native of Ciboure and I know the place very well
