Destination
Between sea and mountains, the Pays Basque offers dazzling scenery. Head for Spain on the Route de la Corniche from Ciboure to Hendaye, known as one of the loveliest roads in France.
The Hendaye beach is not only the region's largest sandy beach but also offers a stunning view of the French Côte Basque. Before crossing the border, a photo is a must.
Less famous than San Sebastian, the charming fortified village of Fontarrabie deserves to be explored in all its nooks and crannies. For lunch, step inside one of its cider houses to enjoy a traditional omelette with cod, accompanied by sidra vasca straight from the barrel!
On the north bank of the Nervion, the Casco Viejo is the historic heart of Bilbao. From its majestic cathedral to the Museum of Basque History, the Old Town reveals a unique architectural legacy in the maze of its famous Siete Calles. Not forgetting its unmissable pintxos bars, open at all hours.
Designed by Frank Gehry, this famous museum's futuristic architecture is an attraction in itself. The monumental works by Louise Bourgeois, Yves Klein, and Jeff Koons which surround it add further fascination. Immersion in modern and contemporary art, an absolute must.
On the way back, make a halt in San Sebastian to enjoy the Old Town's atmosphere at day's end. Explore its charming narrow streets lined with boutiques to buy a few things, then head for the beach of La Concha to watch a memorable sunset.
In San Sebastian, 3 restaurants have won 3 Michelin stars. Each one offers a unique dining experience: contemporary Basque cuisine at Arzak, molecular cuisine at Akelarre, avant-garde "designer" cuisine in the restaurant of renowned chef Martín Berasategui.
