Allons-y! Basquelandia RoadTrip preview
Travel Tips & Memories of crossing borders between France & Spain
Let’s go! As a special post for supporting (i.e. paid) subscribers, I am inviting you on this week’s Ultimate Basquelandia RoadTrip- a long Covid postponed jaunt into my favorite cross-border political, cultural, and culinary area that straddles France and Spains northwest frontier. I dubbed it Basquelandia years ago; a way to pay homage to the mythic gigantic presence that the Basque people and culture stamp across a pastel colored map.
Join me as I introduce a small group of 7 curious gastronomes to my favorite haunts—cafés, markets, 3-star restaurants, pintxo bars, shops , and vistas that drape across a green field of sheep pastures of the French Pyrenees and onto the rugged Spanish Atlantic coast beaches. As a supporting subscriber, you’ll also receive a link to a tour-it-yourself map annotated with all the spots we visit ( and eat at!) on this 7-day trip. Not subscribed yet? Do it now!
So let’s go! It’s a 3-hour ramble from Camont to Biarritz, down two-lane highways and through the piney Les Landes forest—Europe’s largest, southwest to the surfing capital of France- Biarritz.
