Tourism Guethary

Paul Raymond notes that Guéthary is a former annex of Bidart

It obtained its independence from 1580 and was erected in town about 1633 . 

The semaphore (an old Atalaye) still in place, was used as an observation post of whales in the bay, and pirates

When Guéthariars could see the whales, they descended their trainières port and left the harpoon When they were attacked by pirates and gangs of bandits, they took refuge in the farm "Ostolapia" (old bridge of Saint Jacques de Compostela, today named Ostalapia) on the road Ahetze

Guéthary became a seaside resort, with its unspoiled beaches, its coves and algae, and since 1959 in its "spots" of surfing and its location between Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Once there was a tram linking the two cities along the RN 10, he branched out of Guéthary and follow the path of Drinker

Louis XIV, his court and army have crossed the street from the church, having taken the rue des Ecoles, then what is now the way to the Emperor on his way to Saint-Jean-de-Luz which was to celebrate the king's marriage with the Infanta of Spain

A few centuries later that the German army, party to the conquest of Spain, who crossed Guéthary finally stopped at Hendaye following the agreements concluded between Hitler and Franco
