Cádiz, Spain -

Cádiz doubled up as Havana in the 2002 James Bond movie 'Die Another Day.' Everybody recalls Halle Berry's character Jinx Johnson emerging from the ocean in that bikini! Pictured is the beach she turned heads on.

Biarritz, France -

Biarritz, an elegant seaside town on southwestern France's Basque coast, is fronted by its Grande Plage, a huge beach overlooked by plush hotels, casinos, and some excellent restaurants.
I was there briefly! Remember looking at the beautiful ocean there. Thanks to my Russian counterpart asking the French counterpart to bring us there for a short visit from another town that we were having meeting. One of my good memories in life. Nice!

Btw that hossegor beach and resort looked and felt like Malaysia beach and resort. I remember the Malaysian Malay counterpart said so too and she disappeared with her husband and child and did not attend the meeting after first day morning. Must have gone to enjoy themselves at famous Biarritz.

A place can look and feel the same but it’s the people that made the difference indeed.
