Travel guide Vélo Pays Basque

Land of traditions and culture, bathed by the Bay of Biscay, the Basque Country extends from the Ebro to the Adour, over two countries:Spain and France, with the Pyrenees as its natural border. On the French side, fromHendaye to the Adour estuary, green and hilly lands from Mauléon to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Guéthary or Biarritz, the geological structure offers a real diversity of wild landscapes where sports activities are not lacking. Not a village without a pelota court, not a hill without a hiking trail or a golf course, not a beach without surfers or scuba diving clubs, not a sports field without rugby or tennis clubs... The Basque Country is full of sports activities and points of interest where the enhancement of heritage is a religion. Not a village, not a town where the authenticity of hearts and souls is not the signature, where the festive spirit transpires (800 days of festivities per year, they say!). Richness also with its world-renowned gastronomy! Its hams, its ewe's milk cheeses, its pepper, its Basque cakes and other macaroons, its chocolates, the ancestral know-how is no longer to "make-know"! A tourist guide to the Basque Country will mirror and amplify the tremendous abundance of local nuggets and initiatives. In the Basque Country, the tourist stay is not a simple parenthesis but a real immersion in a captivating country where everyone will find something to do.
