Basque Coast

Two countries in one trip – Why not cross into Spain for a day? Savor tapas in San Sebastián, and head to Bilbao to visit the stunning Guggenheim Museum. An unforgettable day awaits!
(Biarritz–San Sebastián: 50 km / Biarritz–Bilbao: 150 km)

• San Sebastián: Known as Donostia in Basque, this coastal gem is famed for La Concha Bay, its historic center, vibrant food scene with delicious pintxos, and cultural events like the International Film Festival.
  We recommend: Hotel Arbaso

• Bilbao: Once a medieval city, now a major Basque cultural hub, Bilbao is just 1.5 hours from Biarritz. A vital stop on the Camino de Santiago, the city is home to the iconic Guggenheim Museum, set along the Nervión River.

Fontarrabie (Hondarribia): Just 30 minutes from the hotel, this picturesque fishing port on the Spanish border offers stunning views of the mountains and the Bay of Txingudy. Its medieval old town is well worth a visit.
