We left the Capbretton aire at 10am and headed for the aire in Biarritz, about a one hour drive away.

The Aires book advised approaching the aire on the D911 from the south but of course we came in from the north, drove through the middle of the town in some very heavy traffic, yet again narrow streets and parked cars made it an interesting journey.

We arrived at the aire in bright sunshine, the aire is €10 a night which includes water and electricity (collected by the local police at 8.00pm). It’s a two minute walk to the beach and there is a intermarche supermarket five minutes walk away.

It’s been very warm again, we can’t believe that we are walking around in t-shirts in the middle of February.

We walked to the beach just across the road from the aire, beautiful beach with white breakers crashing onto the sand, would imagine that it’s extremely busy in the summer.

We like it here so much that we’re going to stay for two nights, tomorrow we’re planning to walk into the town.

We’ve met an older Scottish couple who are on their way back to the UK after a couple of months in Portugal, they’ve recommended some campsite and aires and have told us that we should not worry about the new electronic toll roads.
