We arrived in Biarritz after an hour’s comfortable ride by bus. Autobus is the most efficient means of inter city travel with comfortable coaches moving between city center terminals. One can always find the bus terminal and nearby ticket stand simply by walking. The central business districts of the cities we visited are absent taxi cabs as walking is the preferred means of travel; taxis are available for intercity travels but are significantly more expensive than using the bus if your timetable permits.
When we arrived in Biarritz, the sky was overcast and the fog shrouded the harbor. After a small “breakfast” of cafe con leche and pastries, we began walking the city and its shopping districts searching for perfect products to add to Ciao Bella’s offering.
By mid day, the fog had lifted to a beautiful blue sky, sunshine, and a spectacular coastline reminiscent of America’s Pacific Coast. This scene shows a former castle, built into the sea rock, now containing 12 condominium units.
