A walk around the port of Ciboure, between tradition and Basque panorama

In this original work by Lotza, let yourself be carried away by the authentic atmosphere of the port of Ciboure, with the iconic lighthouse and the majestic silhouette of the Rhune as a backdrop. This illustration perfectly captures the charm of this typical Basque Country fishing port, nestled between the sea and the mountains.

A port steeped in history and expertise

Once a mecca for tuna and sardine fishing, the port of Ciboure housed numerous canneries, now defunct. However, the tradition lives on thanks to the local fleet and the direct sale of fresh fish, still practiced in a dedicated facility. This living connection with the sea makes Ciboure a place rich in memories and emotions.

The Patchiku, witness to Basque maritime heritage

The illustration also features the Patchiku, a traditional Basque fishing boat restored to its original state by the Marin de Ciboure shipyard. Listed as a historic monument, this vessel is a source of local pride, embodying the strong connection between the town and its maritime heritage.

Between fishing port and marinas

Ciboure isn't limited to its traditional activities. It also hosts two marinas, one in Ciboure itself and one in Socoa, offering a harmonious contrast between modern boats and ancient maritime traditions. All this takes place in a vibrant setting, bathed in the light of the Atlantic and enlivened by Basque colors.

A decorative work with strong regional charm

This illustration by Lotza captures the gentle Basque way of life, the changing reflections of the water, the half-timbered houses, and the surrounding nature. It's an invitation to escape, to celebrate Basque identity, and to bring a fragment of this authentic territory into your home.
