On to the Basque Country

Dropping down from the mountains we headed westwards along the A64, destination Anglet near Biarritz chez old friends, Nicole & Daniel. The weather was not on our side so our planned stroll down to the seafront didn't happen.

Next day Nicole drove us up to Ibardin just over the Spanish border. This is the view looking towards the Atlantic.

Ibardin's existence is primarily as a cheap shopping outlet...

...this was the range of olive oil in one store!

The 'town' itself was practically deserted with many shops and cafés closed

It's not a particularly attractive place but pastis at 2/3 the price in La Tranche is hard to resist!


The two of us also went for a walk near Nicole & Daniel's and discovered...

... l'Église Sainte-Marie d'Anglet...

...with its beautiful interior...

...complete with wooden balconies.
