In the Aquitaine region, the southwest of France also includes Biarritz, located on the coast, with its seafront and beautiful surfing beaches, for a getaway along the coastal path.
The small village of Espelette is world famous for the cultivation of its PDO chili pepper. Since the 16th century, through a process of seed selection, farmers have created a unique variety of this American chili pepper, called “gorria” (red in Basque). This chili pepper is used as a spice or flavor enhancer, preserving food or advantageously replacing pepper in Basque culinary traditions and on the best tables today. Ainhoa and Sare, “departure point of the Petit train de la Rhune,” are listed as the most beautiful villages in France.
On the Spanish side, you will pass by the Corniche, Fontarrabie, the city of San Sebastián known for its tapas and its aperitif “la sangria”, and you will wander with the PP.
