Eco-mobility

Throughout the region, you can enjoy a complete transport network that lets you find an alternative to the private car.
Carpooling, bus, train, “topo” train, bike, shuttles … it’s all set up so you can completely do without the car, or simply park up on arrival and only use it again when you leave.

Many brands in the Basque Country are aware of environmental issues. Local brands, using short circuits, combat the harmful effects of consumption, and encourage us to consume better, and responsibly. From organic cosmetics to protect the ocean with Laboratoires de Biarritz, to recycled clothes with Hopaal, in the Basque Country you can consume locally, and responsibly !
