"chic!" Biarritz by iaint

Had to (honest) attend a conference!

Well, maybe it was optional!

Anyway, it was fun.

main beach

I'd passed thru on the train before (Easter 1973) on my way to & from Madrid, and it looked nice (the whole Cote Basque in fact). I spent a night in San Sebastian, just over the border. My parents went to Biarritz in summer 1973, and loved it.

So...I took my chance when it came.

looking south (casino, I think)

- beautiful beaches (its a big surfing place)
- great food (Basque specialities)
- good base to explore Basque country (Spanish and French)
- also good base for exploring the western Pyrenees

in other words, it has a lot going for it!

my photos have disappeared, so the ones used are from the local tourism office

• Pros:beaches, people, food
• Cons:not cheap!
• In a nutshell:go back any time!
