in Bidart

Between Biarritz and Guéthary, Bidart stretches along a coastal strip where the Atlantic Ocean carves out cliffs, beaches, and coves open to the horizon. Once a fishing village turned towards the sea and Basque traditions, the town has kept a compact centre around its church and its white houses with red shutters, while the coastline tells another, more rugged story, made of waves and wind. For cycling, Bidart occupies a pivotal position between the ocean and the first reliefs of the Basque Country, offering ideal terrain for outings that combine relaxation, discovery and early hilly sequences.
