From Estérençuby, we go down towards Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port where we find civilization. The atmosphere is very different here, tourism is very present, you can feel it in the shops, the signs, the people.
Small hilly road to Saint-Etienne-de-Baïgorry, before starting the Ispéguy pass, which will begin

For this penultimate real stage, few kilometers and elevation gain on paper, but a very difficult day awaits us. It's also restaurant day, to my great delight, because we won't find any (or almost) supermarkets open!
It is therefore necessary to plan a small budget for food because it was impossible for

The rainy stage! It is also the stage of the last big pass before starting the final portion of the Basque country. The initial descent is pleasant, it is cold and wet.
We join the national road which connects France and Spain in the direction of Bedous: trucks, but above all rain, an aperitif of what

The origins stage! We are indeed taking the road again towards the Col du Soulor, the one we had faced a year ago for our first busy mountain trip, but this time we are climbing it from Argeles-Gazost, where we will find something good eat and fill the water bottles.
The mountains begin to change their

From Payolle, descent towards Sainte-Marie-de-Campan, the starting point of the Col du Tourmalet. We were honestly quite scared of this climb, probably more because of its popularity and reputation than its difficulty.
The climb is long but steady, nothing incredibly difficult compared to what we had

We return to France for the stage with the most elevation of the entire trip, where we join the famous road of passes that we had not yet crossed.
The Col du Portillon is an affordable introduction, the vegetation is thick, the bends are tight but the slope is manageable (if you don't take the ropes

Last stop in Spain before the first day of rest. The day begins with around twenty kilometers where we plunge into the mountains and the mist until reaching Llavorsi, it's magical.
We had eaten well in the morning so no stop at Llavorsi but there is plenty to do. We continue on the plateau until reaching

First Spanish stage, and what roads! We stay on a fairly important road until Seu d'Urgell, but the vehicles are incredibly careful here, the asphalt is impeccable and the roadsides are very wide.
I won't say more about the landscapes which are quite sensational and which you have to discover while driving

The journey ends with a very final concluding stage, to reach Hendaye station.
We could have added a final pass by going back to the Spanish side and arriving via Irun, but the size of the roads pushes us back, so we reach Saint-Jean-de-Luz, then we go down along the corniche.
It's splendid, there is wind
