WHY CHOOSE GUÉTHARY?
Completely off the radar to the UK market, this Basque Coast gem is revered by the French. Like Cap Ferret near Bordeaux, this is a place where the well-heeled come to holiday and stay unnoticed. We'll leave the 'bling' to the Côte d'Azur!
Low-key Guéthary oozes charm and authenticity with its tiny harbour, village fronton and gorgeous chalet-style houses. Places to eat out are numerous and varied, whether it's the local institutionw Café le Madrid and Le Bar Basque or one of the laid-back eateries along the promenade.
If you want to get active there's surfing, diving and tennis in the village. The coast path also offers wonderful hiking north and south. There are numerous golf courses to try locally whilst in neighbouring St Jean de Luz you can enjoy a day's pampering at one of the thalassotherapy spa stations.
And if you want to venture into Spain (San Sebastian or Bilbao) or spend the a day in Biarritz, Bayonne or St Jean de Luz, why not take advantage of the village train station and save the hassle of driving and parking.
