We will continue our trip heading towards the elegant town of Biarritz, possibly the most stylish and luxurious city of the Basque Country. A former whaling town and meeting point for European aristocracy in the XIX century, Biarritz remains today an important tourist destination thanks to its luxurious Hôtel du Palais, numerous chic shops and fashion boutiques, casinos, extensive beaches, and surfing scene.
