Bay of Biscay Resorts

The Bay of Biscay is a gulf of the northeast Atlantic Ocean located south of the Celtic Sea. It lies along the western coast of France from Brest south to the Spanish border, and the northern coast of Spain west to Cape Ortegal, and is named in English after the province of Biscay, in the Spanish Basque Country. 
Known not only for its spectacular landscape, the Bay of Biscay coastline is also lined by some of northern Spain's most popular cities including Santander, Bilbao and Gijón as well as the French cities of Bordeaux, Biarritz and Nantes. A noticeable difference between this coast and those of southern Spain is the environment. Whereas the dry, sandy landscape of the south is predominantly brown and dusty dotted with the odd palm tree, the north is carpeted in lush green vegetation, mainly owing to its moderate climate and more regular rainfall.
