Overview of Basque Country in Spain and France. I discuss the cities, smaller towns, rural landscape, markets, food, unique cultural aspects, Basque nationalism, and more. I had a chance to spend three weeks in the region, exploring by foot and rental car to see as much of this part of these two countries as possible. It was a wonderful trip, and I wanted to discuss geographic and cultural aspects of Basque Country/Pays Basque.
