HIKING & WALKING
Bay of Biscay
› Dance over the French and Spanish border on the Grande Randonnée 10, a hiking trail that spans the length of the Pyrenees Mountains › Climb up to breathtaking views of the region’s iconic beech forests, broad patchwork hills and sheep-dotted pastures › Savor Rioja’s bold red wines, which pair perfectly with pintxos — Basque Country’s famous small bites › Luxuriate in the artistry and comfort of Hotel Marqués de Riscal, designed by famed architect Frank Gehry › Walk through seaside splendor and flysch —tiered geological formations that emerge dramatically from the water—to reach charming St-Jean-de-Luz On a map, there’s a line. One side France. The other, Spain. But as you immerse yourself in the the language, customs and gastronomy of Basque Country, you’ll see it’s a place all its own.
