Espelette

After San Sebastian, we drove back into France and toured the French Basque region. Espelette is about an hour from San Sebastian.


The town is adorable with red and white half-timbered buildings.


The town is on the Tour de France route, as advertised on this store window.


Espelette is known for its dark red chiles, Piment d'Espelette, essential in Basque cuisine.


Their morning market ends about 1 pm.


You can find jars of ground Espelette. Espelette pepper is not too spicy and the kick comes at the end. A jar is roughly €4-5 per 50 gram bottle.
