OUR TOURS IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY

ABOUT THE BASQUE COUNTRY

The Basque Country, or how we natives refer to our land: “Euskal Herria,” is the home of the people who speak Basque. By definition, the Basque language, “Euskera,” delineates our borders, and Basque has been spoken here prior to the arrival of any of the Indo-European languages, including the Romance languages, making us one of the oldest surviving cultures in Europe. Although much of the origins of the language remain muddled in mystery, the identity of the Basques is evidently deep-rooted.

Encapsulated between Northern Spain and Southwestern France, the Basque Country is a small region that crosses borders. Since the very beginning, our land and people have been ruggedly determined by the might of the Cantabrian Sea and protected by the imposing summits of the Pyrenees, and our unique language and ancient traditions have united us under one identity.

Although the region has for a long time remained practically unexplored, it is increasingly becoming more popular to travellers worldwide because of its uniqueness and inexhaustible offer of things to taste, admire, and explore. The Basque Country’s cuisine and wines are some of its main known attractions. However, there is no shortage of options when visiting this beautiful and enchanting region, where rural landscapes mix with industrial ones, and where the sea, mountains, gastronomy, and culture all merge together to provide our visitors with the experience of a lifetime.

For these and many more reasons, we like to say that there is no other place on earth like the Basque Country.
