Hendaye Poster – An illustrated tribute to the wild beauty of the Basque coast
This original illustration by Lotza captures the splendor of Hendaye Beach, a jewel of the French Basque Country. Through a colorful and dynamic composition, this poster evokes the energy of the waves, the tranquility of the golden sand, the iconic silhouette of the Deux Jumeaux, and the vibrant atmosphere that reigns over this famous seaside resort. A true window onto the Atlantic, this work evokes escape, surfing, and the authenticity of a region rich in traditions and contrasts.
Hendaye: a natural and cultural heritage in the heart of the Basque Country
Located in the far southwest of France, on the border with Spain, Hendaye is a seaside town steeped in history. Since ancient times, the site has been occupied by the Romans. Later, in the 19th century, Hendaye became a popular destination for the aristocracy and spa visitors, attracted by its mild oceanic climate and the benefits of the sea air.
Even today, Hendaye still captivates visitors with its 3 km-long fine sandy beach, its seafront promenade, its typical Basque architecture with white facades and red shutters, and its immediate proximity to the Pyrenees mountains. It is a place where land and ocean meet, between wild nature and seaside elegance.
The Two Twins: geological and poetic symbols of Hendaye
These two majestic rocks emerging from the Atlantic Ocean are at the heart of this illustration. Detached from the cliff by marine erosion, the Two Twins are the guardians of Hendaye Bay. They inspire photographers and lovers of local legends alike: some say a third rock will join them, others see two giants lulled to sleep by the gods.
True emblems of the city, they are highlighted in this poster which plays with light, ocean hues and rocky contrasts to convey all their natural power.
Surfing and the sea: the free spirit of the Basque coast
Hendaye is also a popular destination for board sports enthusiasts. Its beach, exposed to the Atlantic swell but protected by the surrounding terrain, makes it an ideal spot for surfers of all levels. This illustration shows silhouettes of surfers enjoying the waves in a sporty yet relaxed atmosphere.
This maritime energy is an integral part of Hendaye's DNA: here, we live to the rhythm of the sea, between tides, salty winds and moments suspended on the board.
