HEALTHY ROUTES   By MAYTE SUAREZ SANTOS Journalist specialized in Medicine and Thermalism Publisher of the electronic Magazine TermasWorld.com

Caressed by the water and the wind of the Atlantic Ocean, the French-Basque coast is the sanctuary to get the top form and to practice the surf. The sea in all their splendour, soft and brave; art in movement. It is the water in all their forms for enjoyment and benefit of who that one day discovered that the sea is beauty when it is in calm and the danger when becomes furious. A gift for the health and an attractiveness for the surfista that slips over the waves, defiant and vitalist. 

A journey through the coast, from Hendaya to Bayona sprinkled of maritime tradition, beautiful riverside towns and a real beach, Biarritz, in the southwest extreme of France. Sea breeze for a refreshing itinerary: the Route of the Thalassotherapy, the best proposal for some relaxing vacations and health.

The Basque coast, is part of the Pyrenees-Atlantic, one of the counties of Aquitania, in the South of France and region of the water that offers to its visitors its lakes, its rivers, its mountain torrents and its Atlántic Ocean. Ingredients for the adventure, the setting in form, the naturism or the most diverse sport disciplines. 

The best cure by thalassotherapy begins in the beach, breathing at the top of lung the revitalizing air of the ocean. It will be our best "remise en form" because there are many kilometers to go, across the beaches of fine sand that stretch out without interrumpción from Hendaya up to Biarritz that together with Anglet, are the paradise of the surf. A long walk wandering by the sea side with barefoot feet that will have,without any doubt, unbeatable balsamic effects. Itinerary that we begin in Hendaya, first SPA of our route.
