You can unlock the secrets of this city fortified by Vauban through guided tours, and discover its fascinating architecture and half-timbered houses.
Further inland, 20 minutes from the coast, Espelette, renowned for its PDO pepper, awaits you at the foot of the mountains. This small and colourful village will make you discover its authentic traditions thanks to its many cultural activities (dances, concerts, Basque strength, markets…)
This medieval city, nestled at the crossroads of the three roads that serve the entire Basque Country, invites you to discover its rich historical and architectural heritage. Its wall, its four gates (including the St. James Gate, the historic entrance of pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, which is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site), as well as the citadel that dominates the city more than 70 metres away, are just a few traces. Come and discover its Monday market, which brings together producers from the Aldudes Valley and the whole Basque Country, its gastronomic fairs, and in mid-August, its patron saint’s festivals.
