Sports

Rooting and cheering really burn the calories! Fortunately for you, Basque culture’s famous tasty specialties (like gâteau basque, ttoro, chicken basquaise, tuna basquaise, etc.) provide the strength you’ll need to attend or participate in the astounding number of sports events like force basque competitions or pelota.

A golfer’s paradise. Judge for yourself. In a 10-km radius of Oyam, the Atlantic shore of the Basque Country boasts no fewer than six golf courses. Stunning ocean and mountain views, 15th-century clubhouses, chateaux, and even (shhh!) American design. You have to come see them!

While you’re here, why not treat yourself to a spa day at any one of the centres de thalassothérapie, as spas are called locally. You’ll find these spas in Basque cities like Anglet, Biarritz, Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Hendaye.
