Holiday France/Spain, mei 2018
Lekeitio in Spain, Baskenland.
Lekeitio is a town with a very long fishing tradition. As with many other communities along the Basque coast, Lekeitio was known for its brave whale hunters. This lasted from the Middle Ages up until the 18th century. With the passing of time, whales started to disappear but fishing and maritime related activities continued.
The 19th century saw the first tourists arrive, among them some aristocracy such as Queen Isabel II and the Austro-Hungarian empress Zita. Tourism has slowly been growing since then.
