St-Jean de Luz & Ciboure
POP 13,600
If you're searching for the quintessential Basque seaside town - with atmospheric
narrow streets and a lively fishing port pulling in large catches of sardines, tuna and
anchovies that are cooked up at authentic restaurants - you've found it.
St-Jean de Luz, 24km southwest of Bayonne, sits at the mouth of the River Niv-
elle and is overlooked by the lush Pyrenean foothills.
Its sleepy, smaller alter ego, Ciboure, is on the western curve of the bay, separ-
ated from St-Jean de Luz by the fishing harbour.
