CIBOURE
From the mounth of the Bidasoa River, in Hendaya, up to Ciboure run the
motorway of La Corniche, following the turns of the coast, with the sea on their
left. Those that want to make the route by land should take the N-1 until
arriving to the border Irún -Hendaya. Here is linked to D-912 and from Ciboure
the N-10 up to Biarritz. This motorway goes through villages such as Socoa, with
impressive panoramic views of the sea.
The sky is clearing up as we come closer to Ciboure. In this time it is frequent
to see small crafts, offshores, boarding by tourists. Other ships of bigger
tonnage, are hired to carry out trips of longer journey. The maritime itinerary,
Ciboure-St Jean of Luz-Socoa, is one of the most attractive. Other trips by ship
are programmed to sail by the coast. The season begins in April. In Ciboure we
can admire Maurice Ravel native house and the stronghold of Socoa.
The sun that adorns the morning beautifies, the water that from sea side has a
greenish blue color that invites to take a good bath. The water is an
inexhaustible source of pleasure and the sea water is as well an authentic
source of therapeutic benefits and cosmetics.
The watering stations that give rise to this route, confirms how appreciate are
the thalassotherapy treatments using algae, MUDS, mires or even corals and
shells coming from the maritime means. Not to mention, other biomarine
substances as the fucus, the waves and the saltpetre of the sea.
Why not to begin now our own "remise in it forms"? The sea water and its
saltpetre will help to regenerate our skin and the waves will exercise a
pressure on the flabbiest parts of the body. Some aquatic exercise will force to
work the lazy muscles when having to beat the resistance of the water. Some
swimmers come to the beach and we share with them the first relaxing bath of the
route.
