This illustration captures a moment of tranquility in the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, with a clear view of the Rhune, the region's iconic peak.
In the foreground of this vibrant scene, we see the Airosa, the oldest fishing boat still operating in the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Built in 1954 and passed down from generation to generation within a family of passionate fishermen, this boat embodies the living memory of the Basque tradition of tuna fishing.
The history of the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz dates back to the 16th century, when Basque sailors set out on long cod and whale fishing expeditions. This intense activity profoundly shaped the city's identity. Today, the port remains a vibrant and active place, hosting around forty fishing boats registered in the maritime district of Bayonne.
