March in the Basque Country — spring begins before the calendar
March, with its changing air, returning light, and the Basque Country regaining its rhythm. Before the summer rush, it might just be the best time to be here.
Culture
Saint-Jean-de-Luz — La Grillerie du Port · March 03→08
Sculptures, paintings, photographs. Local artists take over one of the port's most beautiful spots. A great excuse to stroll along the quays.
Saint-Jean-de-Luz — Mutxiko · March 1
Traditional Basque dances in the heart of the city. Simple, lively, deeply rooted. The kind of moment you don't plan — and never regret seeing.
Xiberoa Kantuz Loraturik Concert · March 14
Basque music blending collective memory and contemporary creation. For those who want to hear the Basque Country beyond clichés.
Hendaye — Les Univers Marins Exhibition · March 25 → April 18
Twenty minutes from the hotel, an exhibition that lasts. Ideal for a mid-stay outing, when you're looking for calm and the unexpected.
Gastronomy
Spring at the Restaurant · March 9→15
Affordable prices, local specialties, tables in Saint-Jean, Ascain, and Ciboure. A week to (re)discover local eateries without breaking the bank. Our gourmet guide awaits if you want to explore further.
Sports
Cesta Punta International Tournament · March 7 & 14 — Saint-Jean-de-Luz
The 8 best French players against the 8 best Spanish players. Pelota at its highest level, just a stone's throw away. A rare spectacle — even for those unfamiliar with the sport.
French Hand-Pelota Championship Final · March 2 — Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port
For those who want to venture into Lower Navarre: pelota in its purest form, without gloves, without a chistera. Just hands and the wall.
Bayonne vs La Rochelle — Top 14 · March 28
A clash at the end of the month. High-level rugby in Bayonne, in an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.
In Summary
Go down to the port to see the exhibitions, eat well without breaking the bank, attend a pelota match, and finish the weekend with a Top 14 game in Bayonne. Some months are less eventful.
