What to expect in Basque Country Biarritz

The Basque Country is one of Europe's true surf heartlands, with a deep surf culture, a beautiful coastline, and a wide range of breaks packed into a relatively short stretch of coast. It is an excellent destination for surf travel because it combines quality waves, history, food, and atmosphere, but popularity means the best-known spots can become busy very quickly. It remains one of the best all-around surf trips in Europe because the cultural depth and coastal variety stay compelling even when the headline spots are busy.
