Christmas holidays in the Basque Country

Let's say it, after the summer holidays, Christmas holidays are in the top 2 of the best holidays of the year ! 

The magical atmosphere in the streets, the excitement of meeting Santa Claus (for the little ones obviously...), the long diners near the fireplace, the chocolates we allow ourselves to eat without moderation (this is probably the time of the year when we sent the least guilty)., many Christmas performances etc...

For your holidays in the Pays Basque country, we have put together the best of Christmas program for you :
