Then Ezpeleta, in Basque, is known the world over for its pepper, AOC since 1999. Its colorful market and its houses with facades plastered with peppers are to be discovered!

In the footsteps of the Vélodyssée

Part of the Vélodyssée is on the Basque coast from Bayonne. This part of the route is the most invigorating and the wildest, while remaining accessible. It is here that you can enjoy the most beautiful beaches of the coast through the Basque villages and their typical houses. Before Hendaye you discover the Basque corniche between the cliffs and the Abbadia castle.
