In-Depth Information
Straddling two nations on the Atlantic Coast—stretching about 100 miles from Bayonne,
France, south to Bilbao, Spain—lies the ancient, free-spirited land of the Basques. The
Basque Country is famous for its sunny beaches and scintillating modern architecture...
and for its feisty, industrious natives. It's also simply beautiful: Bright white chalet-style
homes with deep-red and green shutters scatter across lush, rolling hills; the Pyrenees
Mountains soar high above the Atlantic; and surfers and sardines share the waves.
