Nestled between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean, Biarritz is more than a seaside retreat—it's a gateway to the heart of Basque culture. The Basque Country speaks one of the most ancient languages in the world, and its spirit is as rugged and captivating as the coastline itself. Along the shores, striped tents dot the Grande Plage, while just beyond, the legacy of whalers and the mountains where they hunted marine monsters adds a sense of adventure to the landscape.
The colors of Biarritz reflect its essence: everything appears pink, but inside, it’s all blue—a mirror of the deep emotions this region stirs. As you make your way up the Basque coast, from San Sebastián to Hendaye, you’ll experience the blend of Spain and France, though neither entirely claims it. Pasaia, Victor Hugo’s favorite village, and the coast road between Hendaye and Socoa, offer breathtaking views that seem touched by divinity.
Biarritz’s charm lies in its ability to shift through all four seasons in a single day, with spring mornings, summer afternoons, and winter nights—a climate that has always embraced change.
