Travel guide
Pays Basque

A land of tradition and culture, bathed by the Bay of Biscay, the Basque Country stretches from the Ebro to the Adour, over two countries: Spain and France, with the Pyrenees as its natural border. On the French side, from Hendaye to the Adour estuary, from Mauléon to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Guéthary or Biarritz, the geological structure offers a real diversity of wild landscapes where there is no shortage of sporting activities. Not a village without a pediment for its pelota, not a hill without a hiking trail or a golf course, not a beach without its surfers or scuba diving clubs, not a sports field without rugby clubs, tennis... The Basque Country is full of sports activities and points of interest where heritage enhancement is a religion. Not a village, not a city where the authenticity of hearts and souls is not the signature, where the spirit of celebration sweeps through (800 days of celebrations per year, it is said!). Wealth also with this world-renowned gastronomy! Its hams, raw milk sheep's milk cheeses, chilli, Basque cakes and other macaroons, chocolates, the ancestral know-how is no longer to be "made to know"! A tourist guide on the Basque Country will mirror and amplify the tremendous abundance of nuggets and local initiatives. In the Basque Country, a tourist stay is not just a break but a real immersion in a captivating country where everyone will find something to suit them.
