The last picture, although it doesn&#39;t say it, is the Ile de la Conférence.<br/>
<br/>
The first picture is the Bidasoa estuary (one &#39;s&#39; in Basque, two &#39;s&#39;es in French and Spanish) and<br/>
the bay called Txingudi in Basque (In French: Baie du Figuier. What&#39;s it in Spanish, I don&#39;t know).<br/>
This bay is subject to a special border agreement: much of the water surface is a Franco-Spanish<br/>
condominium, just like the Ile de la Conférence. The bay stretches between the cape called Higuer<br/>
(Figuier in French) and the Pointe de Sainte Anne. A little map can be found here:<br/>

municipal boundary between Hendaye/Hendaia and Urrugne/Urruña.<br/>
