To find it just go down to the Plaza St. Eugenie (where we see the church), it was built in the last century and today operates in more to tourist and recreational aspects than the craft it was exactly created for.



Between Spain & Portugal, Madrid & Lisboa…






The décor at the beginning be a little frightening, often when we see a restaurant “trattoria“ that takes the typical Italian decor to seriously we think that can be a trap. But when we get to the counter where they make pizzas and the acrobatic maneuvers that the cook was doing with the dough we know that at least they are fresh.
Ordering is always easy, as the concept is universal in two minutes we chose what we wanted. The prices are in line with Biarritz, on average a pizza costing about 12 € -13 €.
I had a calzone and I fear that the photograph does not do it justice … it was huge!! Besides coming generously stuffed with a tomato sauce that made all the difference. Reminds me of the TV ad about pasta or sauce, for therein lies the secret of great pizza dough and a great tomato sauce that is so good it makes us believe that it was made by gods.
The service was friendly and if you speak Spanish they understand perfectly. No regrets.

Last year our first beach day was here, the Grande Plage in Biarritz. It was late April and the weather was not the warmest, but still we layed down in the sun, with our bathing suits on and we put a foot in the water … just because the temperature was not the most pleasant to dive.
The feeling was fantastic we were on a vacation mecca of class and glamor, besides being a surf sanctuary, what more could you ask for?

The beach is bordered by two buildings of great importance, one is the Casino de Bellevue that we see in the photo below (the last one) and the other is the luxurious Hotel du Palais. This was a good time to visit the Grande Plage, certainly at the peak of summer it becomes small for the large turnout it usually has. It was the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III who built the palace which is now a hotel and a symbol of an era of great wealth in Biarritz. Thanks to her, many royal families have made this French town their privileged vacation resort. Inside two restaurants are a reference, La Rotonde and the Ville Eugenie.
Opposite the beach one of the most important buildings the Municipal Casino that is also a Congress Centre.









Our first moments in Biarritz are worth gold, we found a good hotel near the “Vieux–Port” and on that same beach we had dinner at the terrace of the restaurant Cafe Arena, which allowed us to enjoy the sunset. It is great for a drink or to eat with the fantastic colors of dusk.
To start we ordered a platter of sausages which I believe we made a mistake, so close to Spain eating sausages … there are good to stave off hunger, but I had much better.
