*Getaria a pretty fishermen village. Famous for its fishing port and its two native celebrities, the couturier Baliencaga and Elcano, the first sailor to circumnavigate the globe.

* Txakoli winery: a dry white wine from the Basque region, produced in vineyards perched high above the villages of Getaria (Spain) and Fontarrabie, has the particularity of being slightly fizzy, and is served by raising and lowering the bottle above the glass to aerate it generously. The vineyards on the hills facing the ocean benefit from the sea spray, which gives it a unique flavor! Serve chilled with fish and seafood hors d'oeuvres, and delicious with salted anchovies and tuna in oil.

*Zumaia geopark and its spectacular Flysch cliffs made famous by the filming of the "Game of Thrones" ! Flysch is a superimposition of terrestrial layers, allows us to read the history of the earth back 100 million years. Vertiginous!

* Monte Igueldo, which offers spectacular views of the city of San Sebastian & its famous Concha, the bay shaped like a scallop shell!

* Hondarribia a medieval village, which faces France and whose walls and fortified castle recall the quarrelsome past of these two nations. We'll visit the old quarter with its cobbled streets and magnificent mansions, and finish on the banks of the Bidasoa, the border river, with the fishermen's quarter and its famous pintxo bars.

* Saint Jean de Luz. We'll visit the town center, with its amazing beach, pedestrian shopping streets, fishing port and sumptuous 17th-century houses.

*Biarritz lighthouse, located on a hill overlooking the town. Here, your guide will explain the geological wealth of the Pyrenees, the history of the origins of the Basque country and the love affair between Emperor Napoleon III and his young wife. The center of Biarritz and its history through its must-see places such as the Grand Plage, the Hôtel du Palais, the Orthodox Church, the fishing port and the Virgin Rock.

*Hossegor, the surfing capital of Europe, has been a magnet for artists since the early 20th century. At first, renowned writers; today, young designers, start-ups and concept stores! It has quickly established itself as a not-to-be-missed town for its small designer boutiques, original venues, the charm of its many Basque-Landes-style villas, its mythical waves...

*The Dune du Pilat is a unique feature of the Aquitaine coastline, a natural site imbued with exoticism and majesty. Over 103 m high, 600 m wide and 3 km long, Europe's highest dune offers a striking contrast between forest, sand and ocean.
