surfing
by Ludders
As you travel out of biarritz to golf Ibbrix you travel down a hill as the road sweeps left and before you see this house go along a long lane on your right next to the free car park. we watched a free surf event on sunday afternoon. It was great with the two local villages competing. I dont know the road name it was just after lecleric supermarket and before le bounty restaurant, you should hear the loud speakers ad see the large flags. shame there wasnt much surf while we were there, but still fun to see the event.
Fresh and Ritzy

I spent a few hours in Biarritz when I was visiting a friend who lived near Saint-Jean-de-Luz. We took a car trip around the area so that I could get a taste of what it was like. Needless to say, the scenery on the way there was breathtaking (if you have a car, I recommend taking a drive!).
When we finally got into the city, I was not disappointed. The bright, narrow, hilly streets reminded me of the mediterranean towns that I had visited, with a meaner oceanside. What I most remember about Biarritz, though, were the hyderangeas that seemed to be exploding from every hill we came across. Well, that and the best icecream I've ever had in my life -- even better than some of the gelatto I had in Firenze!
It's an expensive city, though, so I'm glad we were only there for a stroll. If you really feel the need to be in an upscale town filled with beautiful faces, then take your time in Biarritz. If not, stay in Bayonne or one of the other nearby towns and go into Biarritz when you need some more action -- you'll save some money, that's for sure.
