Do you want to taste delicious tapas, hear the language of Cervantes spoken on a very lively café terrace or discover Spanish Basque architecture and its many treasures? All of this is possible if you stay at the Thalazur Saint-Jean-de-Luz. País Vasco is only a 30-minute drive away from the City of Corsairs.

First key step: Fontarrabie (Hondarrabia in Basque). Beautiful walks await you both in the lower town between its houses with red and green balconies and its pintxo bars stuck to one another, and its ramparts vestiges in the upper town. Not far away, the small port of Pasaia is also worth a visit. For example, take a stroll in its picturesque districts of San Pedro or Donibane. Above, the GR 121 shall definitely appeal to walkers. Its route runs along the coast and offers breathtaking views in the blue of the Atlantic.

But the pearl of the Spanish Basque Country is undoubtedly San Sebastian. Just a 45-minute drive from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Donostia, as it is called here, offers captivating elegance and diversity. Strolling along its magnificent bay, La Concha, or getting lost in its narrow streets are all unmissable little pleasures. Our firm favorites: Plaza de la Constitución for its lively atmosphere, and Monte Igueldo for its heavenly panorama.

If you like shopping, you will also be delighted, because the city is full of shopping streets. If you have time, other gems make the region sparkle like Zarautz and its fine sandy beach or Getaria and its romantic port with its grilled fish restaurants. Further on, Bilbao dazzles you with its culture and Guggenheim Museum. Not to mention, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Pamplona, the Bardenas desert… So many reasons to love the Basque Country!
