Hi, I plan to spend about 6 nights in the French Basque area in late October (following a Smithsonian tour). I'm traveling solo, plan to have a car. I'm trying to decide btwn two locations: Ainhoa (probably Hotel Itthuria) or Sare (probably Hotel Arraya). I plan to do some driving to walks, villages, etc, but I'd like to be in a village that's got enough of a town center where I can walk to dinner most nights and have some stores, places to walk around. Would anyone have a suggestion? (the famous Olhabidea is booked). I'd also be happy for any alternative suggestions of a base or a hotel.
Thank you!
Thank you!
