My peak travels: Bayonne and Biarritz

Bayonne and Biarritz are two small cities in France located 11 miles (18 kilometres) from the border with Spain. It is in the traditional province of Labourd in the French Basque Country. Our trip there was not longer than two hours. During the journey Amaya explained us about the city and places to visit. The first place we visited was the Cathedral, always feels good to visit a church.

After the church visit we gave a round in the city and we found out that we were hanging around in the same places, well, small city. How to spend the time in this small city?

We walked around maybe for more than half an hour trying to find a place to seat and wait for the bus time. Finally we found the French Coffee Shop where we could have something to drink and a good seat while waiting.

Three o'clock we headed to Biarritz, it was closer then what we were expecting. Biarritz is a lovely city on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast in the Pyrénées Atlantiques department in southwestern France. It is a luxurious seaside town and is popular with tourists and surfers. Why we came on winter??? It's windy and raining but beautiful anyway.

We enjoyed the rest of our day walking around the city and we visited the Miremont, the cafetaria where the king Alfonso XIII and his young wife have been in 1905. They have all kind of attractive desserts and well decorated, yummy!!
