Roadtrip to Biarritz, France

Nik, Koval and I hit the road to cross over the Spain/France border into the French Basque Country coastal town of Biarritz.

We were excited for a return to visit to San Sebastián during a different time of a year and to stay at the luxurious Hotel Maria Cristina.

Trying to fit in one last trip before the end of 2024, we decided on a 10-day roadtrip through four cities. Bilbao was the first stop.

Our experience staying at Canfranc Estación, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, an upscale hotel built in an old abandoned Spanish railway station.

Nik and I wanted to take more trips within Spain to visit new cities which is how we ended up spending two days visiting Zaragoza.

In a four day visit, I learned so much about Budapest's Jewish history and encourage anyone visiting to not overlook it.

From the moment we landed and had our first meal, Nik and I knew we would have some of the best food in Budapest.

A week in Aix-en-Provence was the perfect spot to take it easy and we look forward to returning again in the future.

Following a short and scenic drive from Nice, we enjoyed a few days visiting Antibes.

Our fourth visit to Nice was our longest yet, with a full week where we split our time by staying in two different neighborhoods.
