Basque Country 8-Day Itinerary

Nestled between dramatic sea cliffs and the majestic Pyrenees mountains, the Basque Country is steeped in history and bursting with natural beauty. Isolated for centuries by rugged terrain and treacherous seas, the people of this vibrant region developed a distinct language and culture that has persisted over the ages. All the while, the Basques have remained ardent guardians of their heritage, determined to preserve their trove of traditions and their singular language, which is believed to be Europe’s most ancient living tongue. 

description

Designed to introduce you to the most iconic places of this unique region, our itinerary is divided into three segments.

First, we guide you through the most picturesque seaside towns and cultural sites that dot the dramatic Côte Basque. We then travel inland, to explore the countryside and foothills of the Pyrenees. Finally, we turn to the provincial hubs of Bayonne and Biarritz – as steeped in history and tradition as they are brimming with modern, creative energy.

We’ve selected the best hotels along the route, along with the best-kept secrets and stops for where to shop and eat along the way. It includes detailed directions and information about each destination, a QR code for an interactive map of each day’s journey, as well as insider tips to help you make the most of your trip.

For this Pays Basque trip, journalist and MFCH Team member Nicola Clark has tried, tested and written the itinerary to ensure your trip is smooth and authentic.

“Between June and September, we highly recommend a stop at La Villa Leïhorra, a grand Art Deco mansion with extraordinary gardens overlooking Socoa. Guided tours take place on Monday and Thursday mornings and must be booked ahead with the tourist office.”
