A maritime heritage retracing the history and economy of the fishing port, where the fish auction and fish trade are still important
Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Ciboure are inseparable from the economic activity of the fishing port and its rich historical and maritime heritage. It is since the Middle Ages and the whale fishing that the maritime economy in the Bay of Biscay develops. In the 16th century, the sailors from Luzon and Cibourie went to Newfoundland in search of the cod banks. After the First World War, the first canneries were set up to process the anchovies and sardines caught. The fish auction and the fish trade remain important today.
