A very special ambience reigns on the Saint-Jean-de-Luz market. The alleys are brimming with the Basque terroir, between vegetable, butchers’ and cheese stalls and, of course, the exceptional fishmongers!
The Ostalapia Farm (Ahetze) offers an exceptional setting in the Basque countryside for a delicious meal of grilled meat. For fish, I suggest La Tantina de la Playa (Bidart). A renowned address for fresh fish.
It will take about two hours to climb it on foot from the Olhette car park. Otherwise, the Rhune Train will take you to the summit to admire its breathtaking view. Not to be missed.
From the hotel, walk up towards Guéthary. Along the path that follows the coastline, make sure you stop off at the unspoilt Lafitenia and Cenitz beaches.
A jaunt in Spain is always full of surprises. On the way, stop off in a “Venta” for a simple but delicious lunch. The Burkaitz (Itxassou) is superb.
Just cross the bridge and you’ve arrived in the neighbouring Ciboure. Its quays, pelota court and narrow streets are all charming. Before climbing up the Tour de Bordagain, make sure you lunch at Chez Mattin.
The Sun King left an indelible mark on Saint-Jean-de-Luz with his marriage in 1660. Visit Saint-Jean-Baptiste church as well as house of Louis XIV and that of the Infanta. Treasures of the Basque heritage.
