In the Basque Country, everything is an excuse to have a party, to start singing and dancing!
The Chapel of Sainte-Madeleine is dedicated to Basque sailors lost at sea: an example of architectural heritage in the Basque Country.
The pimento peppers in Espelette are laid out to dry, traditionally, on the façades of houses. This world-renowned condiment is grown in 10 communes around Espelette.
Numerous festivals and entertainment are organised all year round in Bidart, Biarritz and villages in the Basque Country.
