[Stop 2] Luz

The ancient fishing port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz (they fished cod in the fifteenth century and went whale hunting to Newfoundland) with its newly refurbished private fish market, and its colorful boats, is a big part of the Luzien heritage, and is animated by its boat trips.

 

We fish for anchovy, for tuna and for hake. A real economy for the Basque Country, with active wholesale fish merchants and regular trawlers on the open sea. The fishing industry assures more than 600 jobs here. A strategic and dynamic point for the city, between history and economic modernity.
