We will have the opportunity to taste and buy some products made by this pepper such as a very tasty spicy chocolate. Yumiii!
The village consists of a main street lined with stunningly beautiful Basque-style houses. However, most of the original houses were destroyed during the Thirty Year´s War and the ones we see today were rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries. Holy mackerel, still very old and well conserved!
The houses are a perfect example of the local architecture, each with exposed stone corners and shutters in bright red and green. We will also have a look at the beautiful church “Notre-Dame de l’Assomption”, the cemetery and pelota court.
Apart from the magnificent architecture, we will get nice pictures with the church San Martin or the other main pelota court. If you love cakes, you will have the best option to buy the famous “gateau basque” in the best place we know.
