Jūrmala
Nous quittons Riga, capitale de la Lettonie, pour nous rendre à 25 kilomètres de là, dans sa station balnéraire la plus proche, l’agréable Jūrmala, qui étend tout en longueur sa plage régulière, bordée d’un parc de conifères très impressionnants…. (on s’en rend compte en montant à pied au sommet d’une tour qui atteint à peine le sommet des arbres environnants…).
Jūrmala is a city in Latvia, about 25 kilometres (16 miles) west of Riga. Jūrmala is a resort town stretching 32 km (20 miles) and sandwiched between the Gulf of Riga and the Lielupe River. It has a 33 km (21 miles) stretch of white-sand beach, and a population of 55,580, making it the fifth largest city in Latvia.
While Latvia was part of the Soviet Union, Jūrmala was a favorite holiday-resort and tourist destination for high-level Communist Party officials, particularly Leonid Brezhnev and Nikita Khrushchev. Although it has many amenities such as beach-houses and concrete hotels remain, some have fallen into disrepair. Jūrmala remains a tourist attraction with long beaches facing the Gulf of Riga and romantic wooden houses in the Art Nouveau style.
Imants Ziedonis, one of Latvia's most important poets and folklorists of the Soviet and post-Soviet eras, was born in Jūrmala district.
Visitors can access Jūrmala from Riga by suburban rail (30 min) or along the highway by car (20 min). Since 2008 Jūrmala and Riga airport have been connected by a bus service. During the summer season (1 April - 30 September) visitors entering Jūrmala by car need to pay €2 entrance fee.
In publications dating from the Soviet period, the city name was occasionally spelled in English as Yurmala, a back-transliteration from Russian.
