What to see in Spain

Basque Country

Nestled along the northern coast of Spain, the Basque Country is a region of striking contrasts where rugged cliffs meet serene beaches and lush green hills stretch inland. From the lively streets of Bilbao to the charming coastal city of San Sebastian, the area is a feast for the senses. History and modernity coexist seamlessly here: explore the world-renowned Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, a contemporary architectural marvel, or stroll through San Sebastian’s Old Town, famed for its narrow alleys and vibrant pintxo bars.

The Basque Country is also rich in unique culture and traditions. Locals speak Euskara, one of Europe’s oldest languages, and celebrate festivals like Tamborrada in San Sebastian with drumming, parades, and colorful costumes. The region’s culinary scene is legendary, from Michelin-starred restaurants to rustic seaside taverns, offering everything from freshly caught seafood to the playful flavors of traditional Basque desserts. With its blend of history, art, and gastronomy, the Basque Country promises experiences both memorable and distinctly authentic.
