• Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port - This charming walled town is renowned as a popular starting point for the Camino de Santiago. As visitors stroll along its main street, cross the Historic Old Bridge over the Nive River, and pass through the Gate of Spain, they will experience the same excitement and magic felt by pilgrims who have traveled this path before. These are unforgettable sensations.
• Le Pas de Roland - The legendary Pas de Roland is a place where history and myth come to life. According to tradition, in the year 778, the brave Roland—nephew of Charlemagne—struck the rock with his sword, creating a passage through the mountains and forging his path forward.
• Bidarray - This pristine location is one of the best spots in the region to observe the magnificent bearded vulture in its natural environment—an unforgettable experience for nature enthusiasts. Visitors will fall in love with Bidarray, a delightful village nestled at the base of dramatic mountains and surrounded by lush green meadows dotted with traditional farmhouses.
• Espelette - The next stop is Espelette, a town where red peppers are a way of life. Founded by the noble Navarrese family Ezpeleta (Espelette), it is one of the most picturesque towns in the French Basque Country. In addition to its classic houses with colorful frames and shutters, its facades are adorned with red peppers (in the drying process). Visitors can stroll down the pedestrian street and see the Castle of the Barons of Espelette.
• Ainhoa - This tranquil and small Basque village was founded in the 12th century. It is essentially composed of a single street with stunning Basque-style houses, characterized by exposed stone corners and wooden shutters in vibrant shades of red, blue, or green. These houses date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, as the original ones were destroyed in the Thirty Years’ War.
