St Jean de Luz......in the sun..,

So we packed up and headed 8 miles further down the coast nearer to the Spanish boarder and oh what a difference. The feel is so more Espanol and the town/city of st Jean de Luz is fantastic. It's a large half moon shaped bay protected by sea walls with the Pyrenees in the back ground.

The back streets are full of restaurants and bars influenced by the Basque region.

Louis the XIV house
 Having walked 8km in flip flops we headed back to our beach for some R&R and the first open water sea swim of the year. (See earlier post)
Once the sun started to set the beach bar was far too tempting so we stopped for a few sun downers.
  
 Local Basque beer
 Mmmmmm Mojitos........
Yes this is all part of the training program for Embrun.........
